Selfridges has unveiled plans to make staff cuts across some of its shops and head office.
According to This is Money, the department store’s managing director Andrew Keith informed workers changes would be made to some teams under an “efficiency restructure”.
In a letter seen by the news outlet, Keith told staff: “We’ve been reviewing how Head Office including some small teams in retail who support our stores are organised to best deliver for our customers.
“To do this involves looking at our structures, our costs, our revenue lines, and our ways of working, from top to bottom”.

He continued: “Regrettably this is likely to mean some of our head office teams, including some small teams in retail who support our stores, will be resized and reshaped.”
The Selfridges’ boss also said the change was designed to “unlock better ways of working and offer the potential to deliver long term sustainable growth and profitability for our business”.
Employees will reportedly be told more about potential redundancies on Friday by the retailer’s people director Maria Glasscock.
