Co-operative Group confirms job cuts under its £200m savings plan

The UK's Co-operative Group confirmed job cuts on 23 Sep 2026 as part of the £200m cost-saving programme it launched this year, without saying how many of its roughly 54,000 staff are affected. Underlying pre-tax losses widened to £92m in the first half (to 4 Jul 2026); the business is still dealing with the fallout of the April 2025 cyber attack and a leadership overhaul (Irish News/PA, 23 Sep 2026).
