Supermarket giant Sainsbury's is axing jobs at its city centre Arndale office as it looks to cut its costs, it has been confirmed. Jobs will instead outsourced to locations such as India.
Roles across food commercial, finance operations and people services and HR are being outsourced to the firm Accenture threatening at least 300 jobs across the UK. The company could not confirm how many of these 300 jobs were at their office in Arndale House while a consultation process takes place.
Staff were made aware of these impending changes yesterday. The email, seen by the Manchester Evening News , written by CEO Simon Roberts, says the company needs to 'save to invest' and that they 'must keep moving at pace to become more efficient and embed simpler and better ways of working'.
