Getir to make 10% of staff redundant as it axes 2,500 jobs
Getir is to make more than 10% of its global team redundant as it looks to make operational efficiencies.
The job cuts come amid waning demand in the speedy groceries market in the aftermath of the pandemic.
The grocery delivery firm, which bought rival Gorillas in a £1.2bn deal late last year, currently employs 23,000 people across five countries, including couriers, pickers and office employees.
It will make 2,500 staff redundant.
A Getir spokesperson said:
“Decisions like these are never taken lightly. However, Getir is determined to do right by all employees affected by the process in line with its values and in full compliance with local laws. Getir is very grateful to all colleagues for their hard work, dedication, and significant contributions to the business.”
The delivery app recently unveiled plans to exit Spain, Italy and Portugal in order to focus on existing operations in other markets.
Getir will continue to operate in the UK as well as Turkey, Germany, the Netherlands, and the US.
