Jobs at Trago Mills set to be cut
The company says it has commenced a consultation with its employees with a view to reducing costs.
The future of jobs at Trago Mills stores in Newton Abbot and three other areas is in doubt.
The discount shopping chain's announced it's making changes - including to opening hours.
It's started a consultation with staff to look at ways of reducing costs.
In a statement, Trago said: "Due to the upcoming increases in both employers’ national insurance, national living wage, energy costs and many others, Trago has commenced a consultation with its employees with a view to reducing costs and increasing efficiencies throughout the business. The economy continues to struggle post-pandemic, with neither the former nor present governments having heeded the concerns repeatedly expressed by industry in general.
"In common with many within the retail and service sectors, this has necessitated a review of trading hours to ensure service standards are not adversely impacted during peak, popular times of the day. These actions will underpin the company’s future, ‘Price, Choice, Destination’ remaining our pledge to the communities Trago has been privileged to serve for almost 60 years."
