Morrisons shuts head office and sends staff to work in-store

Morrisons has closed its head office and sent over 1,000 members of staff to work in-store in anticipation of high sales – The Yorkshire Post reports.

The order came from CEO David Potts who will, according to a Morrisons spokesman, be “somewhere in Yorkshire”. Directors, lawyers, IT specialists and buyers will all be asked to help in their stores across the country while the head office runs with minimal staffing levels.
