A view of the Debenhams store in Nottingham as the retailer has announced it will axe 2,500 jobs across its stores and warehouses as it looks to slash costs after sales were impacted by the coronavirus lockdown
SHOPWORKERS’ union Usdaw sought urgent talks with Debenhams administrators today in a bid to save 2,500 shop and warehouse jobs.
