More than 1,400 jobs have been put at risk after Sainsbury’s revealed plans to close two Argos depots over the next three years.
A warehouse in Basildon, Essex, and a depot in Heywood, Greater Manchester, are to close by 2026, the supermarket giant has confirmed.
It said 1,400 jobs will be affected by the closure of the sites, which serve its Argos stores, including both Sainsbury’s workers and those who work for Wincanton as part of an outsourced contract.
