The news of added jobs was countered, however, by a report in the Sunday Times that the chain was considering cutting 650 jobs at its Holborn headquarters.
A spokeswoman for Sainsbury’s confirmed that a review of head office staffing levels was underway but added that reports on the level of job cuts or the time-frame were pure speculation.
