JD Sports confirms potential job cuts at warehouse in Derby
Staff at a JD Sports distribution centre in Derby are facing potential job losses, with the future of the warehouse under review.
The sportswear giant has initiated a consultation period with workers at the distribution centre, located at Derby Commercial Park.
A spokesperson for JD Sports Fashion told TheIndustry.fashion: "We have entered into a period of consultation with colleagues based at our Derby distribution centre.
"This is in relation to a review of the Derby distribution centre. We are doing all we can to look after those colleagues impacted and recognise this may be an unsettling time for them."
A source familiar with the situation said no final decision had been made regarding the distribution centre, adding that the review will have no impact on the company's warehouse in Rochdale, Kingsway.
They emphasised that the company was working with local employers and employment agencies to support staff in finding alternative employment, alongside wellbeing support in line with its processes.
