Tesco has announced plans to cut about 400 jobs as part of plans to "simplify" the business. The supermarket giant said jobs will be affected at its bakeries, mobile phone shops and its head office in Welwyn Garden City,

Managers in its head office and Tesco Mobile phone shops, as well as staff at some of its in-store bakeries, will be affected.

Tesco is to cut about 400 jobs across its stores and head office, the supermarket chain has said. The news comes days after Sainsbury’s said it will cut more than 3,000 jobs, close down its in-store cafes, and remove its pizza and hot food counters from stores.
