The company said the workload of the Beilen distribution centre, which has already lessened as a result of the optimisation of the logistics network and the closure of unprofitable stores, will decrease still further with the completion of the new West distribution centre in mid-2006 and internal process improvements.


“The measures now being taken are intended to bring current and future staffing levels into line with workload,” Laurus said.
