Description
The chemist and health & beauty company Boots is to cut 900 jobs across the UK in a bid to save £56m over the next three years. Most of the job cuts will affect staff working in Nottingham, where Boots has its main UK base. They will take place in the firm's health and beauty business, and related contract manufacturing activities. The company said it hoped to achieve the cuts "where possible" through staff turnover and redeployment.
