Ocado set to cut 400 jobs after Andover fire
Ocado has put up to 400 jobs at risk at its Andover warehouse after failing to find an alternative site nearby and admitting it will take two years to rebuild.
The online retailer is consulting with 850 workers based at the Andover site over redundancies after it was destroyed by a fire in February.
An Ocado spokesman said: “In light of the fact that the rebuild of Andover CFC will take at least two years to complete, it is with immense regret that we have commenced a formal consultation process.
“We would like to thank all of our colleagues for their hard work and we will provide them with all the support we can during this process.
“We are committed to rebuilding and restoring our operations in Andover and sincerely hope that we are able to welcome any affected colleagues back to Ocado in the future.”
