Morrisons to Cut Hundreds of Jobs Amid AI Restructuring Efforts
Morrisons, a major UK supermarket chain, has announced plans to cut up to 200 jobs at its head office in Bradford as part of a broader restructuring effort focused on integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into its operations. This decision is part of a long-term program initiated in 2025 aimed at re-engineering business functions to streamline processes, automate manual tasks, and enhance performance through data and AI. The company has already begun a consultation process with affected employees, offering support and assistance in finding alternative roles within the organization. This move follows a previous round of job cuts in March, where the retailer reduced its convenience buying team.
