Exclusive: Local firms angry as debt-laden supermarket shifts to a single property maintenance provider
Morrisons is planning to ditch at least 83 property maintenance suppliers, many based in its home city of Bradford, putting more than 1,000 jobs at risk as it shifts to a single provider for repairs.
The debt-laden supermarket chain, which is battling to save costs after a takeover in October 2021 by the Americanprivate equity group Clayton Dubilier & Rice, is also likely to lay off up to 50 staff dealing with property maintenance at its Bradford head office and around the country.
