Online retail giant Shop Direct is to close three distribution centres putting almost 2,000 jobs at risk.
The company – which owns Littlewoods and Very.co.uk – is to close sites in Shaw, Little Hulton and Raven, all in Greater Manchester, from mid-2020 onwards.
It said it plans to build a new warehouse in the East Midlands employing 500 people, but that redundancies were likely.
