Costa Coffee Irish jobs are safe amid UK cuts

More than 1,650 Costa Coffee staff are at risk of redundancy as the chain returns to business after closing 2,700 UK stores for six weeks during the pandemic.

Jobs in Costa Coffee shops across the island of Ireland will not be affected by the company’s redundancy plans.

Costa Coffee in the UK told staff that consultations, which began yesterday, could affect more than 10% of roles across the cafe chain as it looks to cut costs during continued uncertainty over when trade will fully recover due to Covid-19.
