The move follows a trial scheme announced in September, which saw Cook axe 18 cluster manager roles in six regions and replace them with store managers.
In a statement released this week Cook said it had subsequently “seen an improvement in performance” within these regions, resulting in the move being rolled out nationally. The latest restructure includes proposals for the creation of 360 new store manager roles.
Cook added that the decision to axe the cluster manager roles reflected the “change in Thomas Cook’s retail landscape”, and that the company now had a reduced number of stores since cluster managers were initially introduced in 2013.
