Pizza Express has announced a further 1,300 redundancies across its 370 UK restaurants just months after slashing 1,100 jobs.
Speaking to Sky News, Managing director Zoe Bowley said: “Unfortunately, the recent increase in Covid-19 cases is again causing footfall to decline across the UK. As this is expected to continue for some months, we sadly need to make changes that will impact more of our team members.
“Our people remain at the heart of our business and we are doing what we can to support those who are affected.”
“We believe that this difficult decision will give us more resilience through the next six months and help us to continue serving our customers in our restaurants and at home in the years ahead.”
In August this year, Pizza Express annoucned the closure of 73 of its 454 UK restaurants as part of cost-cutting measures.
