Layoff history
Ocado Group said on February 26, 2026 that it would cut around 1,000 jobs, about 5% of its global workforce, as part of a £150 million cost-cutting drive announced alongside its preliminary full-year results. Most of the reductions are expected in the UK, concentrated in technology, research and development, and support functions at its Hatfield, Hertfordshire headquarters. The plan also merges Ocado Solutions and Ocado Intelligent Automation into a single division and reorganizes commercial, support and R&D operations. The cuts came after warehouse closures by retail partners including Kroger and Sobeys, which had pressured the grocery-technology group's outlook.
