Jobs go in Thomas Cook shake-up

THOMAS Cook has axed jobs following the restructuring of its retail division under new distribution managing director Andrew Windsor.

At least 20 roles have gone from the retail and dot-com businesses, including two at director level. A third director is likely to leave, while other senior managers are said to be disgruntled and are considering their futures.

Windsor said: “Thomascook.com was set up as a stand-alone business and has separate departments from the retail business. They have now been bought together which has led to a degree of overlap and a number of job losses.”
