"During 2025 Morrisons commenced a long-term programme to re-engineer certain business functions, to concentrate on the core activities that our customers value, streamline processes and structures, automate a number of manual tasks and capitalise on the potential of data and AI to improve performance."
"As we evolve and adapt, we are proposing to make some changes to a number of areas within our central structure. This will involve making some tough but necessary decisions which will impact on colleagues in our head office, where we are proposing to place a number of roles at risk of redundancy."
"These cuts come amid a push to increase the use of artificial intelligence and automation within the company, aiming to enhance efficiency in areas such as forecasting, stock management, and category planning."
"Chief Executive Rami Baitié h is under pressure to strengthen the company's financial position, as Morrisons carries a reported £3.1 billion debt burden and faces ongoing cost challenges in the retail sector."
Morrisons announced plans to cut more than 200 head office positions, impacting around 8% of roles at its Hilmore House headquarters. The redundancies will affect teams in commercial, marketing, HR, supply chain, and technical departments. This restructuring is part of a long-term program to streamline operations, enhance efficiency through automation and AI, and improve performance. The company faces financial pressure with a £3.1 billion debt and aims to align central functions better to support store operations and customer service.
