Around 3,000 Sainsbury’s staff will move to DHL, Wincanton or GXO Logistics as part of the changes, others will move between the three firms

Sainsbury’s has announced a major restructuring of how its logistics operations work, affecting around 7,000 staff throughout the country.

The retail giant said that no one would lose their job or get moved to worse contractual terms and that the move would mean service and availability are better for customers.

The plan is to stitch together a patchwork of different logistics contracts up and down the country into just three, each dealing with a different type of product.
