That is a shocking amount of jobs to go. Seems WAG were caught on the hop as well. Sadly the falling pound and the increasing price of food is being highlighted as one of the factors that have caused this. It may be centralisation but there is no doubt the are massive staff cut backs as well. I don't want to mention the 'B' word yet but it could be a contributory factor.
I hope not as we in Swansea have the lion's share of low paid call centres and we could end up taking a massive hit here if indeed this is a trend. Very worrying.

Ok, so this is bad news. However, its only part of the story. Be cynical with corporates. They wont think twice about the fx rates and using Brexit as an excuse. Only last month on the same BBC site, Tesco reported that sales are improving and underlying profit is increasing, even look to acquire new businesses.

The bottom line here is profitability and shareholder return. They dont give a fk about you, me or their employees

The sharp fall in Sterling after the unexpected close GE result lowered Britains negotiating posistion on Brexit has been the problem.

Just like Brexit was blamed for the 1st slump in Sterling.

Personally it benefits me but that's not the point.

If Labour had won Sterling would be below 1 for 1 With the Euro by now.

Inflation will soar which is good for some but probably bad for the
so called poor who voted on the promise of everything for free
paid for by the higher rate tax payer.

People get what they deserve.

How long do you think it will take the WAG to give incentives to
companies operating call centres around Swansea to relocate
in Cardiff?
It's already started to happen.

I wonder if the people of Cardiff will boycott Tesco and take their business elsewhere?

If you have ever bought from Tesco Direct or used their Online Grocery Shopping then you will know.

Dreadful company with appalling service as are Asda, but at least they are cheaper

Caller: my delivery hasn't arrived

Tesco: ah yes, the van that was delivering your goods is currently lying in a ditch along with its dead driver who we forced to work a 17 hour shift today. Would you like clubcard points as an apology?

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

They offer near enough all the financial services and insurances a high street bank does, albeit remotely. They don't just do eggs and bread.
