THG puts 180 jobs at risk in Greater Manchester after closing major OnDemand division
Online retail and software giant THG informed staff on Tuesday, April 4, that 180 roles are at risk of redundancy at THG Studios.
A THG spokesperson said: "Following a strategic review of our OnDemand division, as announced in THG’s trading update of 17 January 2023, we can confirm that we are proposing to discontinue operations in the OnDemand division across all sites. We are currently consulting with impacted colleagues and will take steps to minimise the number of redundancies.
At the start of the year, THG revealed it was reviewing "lossmaking categories and territories within the THG OnDemand division", which includes websites such as Zavvi and Pop in a Box. The review, as well as an internal reorganisation, has already seen the loss of 2,000 jobs during 2022, according to the FT, and will save £100m a year.
