Overview
- Staff were informed on October 10, triggering a formal three-month consultation in which final redundancy outcomes have not been determined.
- The proposal would consolidate HR and recruitment functions from regional distribution centres into Lidl House in southwest London, with potential relocation or redundancy for affected staff.
- Lidl says it will create about 100 new HR positions at head office and will support colleagues through redeployment options where possible.
- Employee posts on LinkedIn described shock at the announcement following the internal briefing.
- The move follows a separate head-office restructure earlier this year that cut around 70 roles and aligns with wider 2025 head-office reductions at rivals such as Morrisons and Sainsbury’s.
