Ocado Group is preparing to cut as many as 1,000 jobs (roughly 5% of its 20,000-strong workforce) to reduce costs following loss of North America warehouse contracts. Redundancies could be approved later in February, with head office roles most likely affected.

“This has been blamed on the loss of crucial warehouse contracts in North America.”

Context: The company's share price fell more than 40% in the last six months, and it lost £375m in 2024. The Telegraph
