Nisa is consulting on redundancies in a review that is intended to lower costs in the business.
The Grocer understands that approximately 50 jobs could be at risk across its head office.
“We are carrying out a review to lower our costs, in order to offer greater support to our partners and their customers during the current cost of living crisis,” said a Nisa spokeswoman.
“Unfortunately, the review will include a consultation on potential redundancy for some employees.
“We recognise this is a difficult time for so many and we are seeking to approach the review accordingly, while recognising the realities of the current economic climate.”
The move follows a series of management changes at the Co-op-owned buying group. Former CEO Ken Towle announced in January that he was leaving to become retail director at Asda. He was swiftly replaced by then Co-op chief commercial officer Michael Fletcher. In May sales director Steve Leach revealed that he was also leaving Nisa after eight years in the role.
The symbol group has also just upped its fuel levy to £13.43 from £9.77 per delivery to cover the “increased incremental cost of fuel” it was experiencing.
