This is clearly a very worrying time for Boots staff. The Covid-19 pandemic is affecting many industries across the globe including pharmaceutical retail in which Boots is a UK leading brand.
I have heard the devasting news this morning that 300 jobs are to be lost from the Nottingham office in Beeston. As more details become clear I will continue work closely with the Walgreens Boots Alliance and our local authority partners as required to make sure affected employees have access to the right advice and support they need.
I will do everything I can to support local people in Broxtowe affected by this announcement.
