Sainsbury’s has announced that several roles could be made redundant as the supermarket retailer reviews its Tu Clothing arm.
The company is understood to be in the early stages of talks to assess positions, responsibilities and skills needed to roll out its long-term strategy.
The discussions could see the business reconfigure its buying and merchandising functions, potentially creating new roles while eliminating others.
The group’s final decision will be revealed in the coming weeks.
The clothing team revaluation builds on a wider organisational refresh unveiled in February, which saw Sainsbury’s cut 300 head office jobs as it reformulated its technology team and Argos delivery network.
Tu Clothing online sales climbed 20% year-on-year for the 52 weeks to 28 February 2026, making it a primary category in the retailer’s non-food offer.
A Sainsbury’s spokesperson said: “As we move into the final year of our Next Level Strategy, we are looking at the shape of our clothing team to ensure our focus is on what matters most to our customers.
“While we will regrettably lose some roles as part of this process, we expect to see others created as well.”
