and close some branches
Closing 10 smaller dc’s too. I wonder if tilbury will be affected
Isn’t Brexit great?
Yes it is.stop blaming that.its greedy rotten profiteers who need castratring not brexiteers
And yet the Nuneaton branch is hiring class2
The simple truth is that if a particular area is not as profitable they get closed .not running at a loss !Simply not performing well enough for the share holders IMO .

As can be seen daily on all the news channels, Brexit is responsible for all past, present and future ills that have or will befall the UK.
What Brexit will really mean is legal profiteering, speculation about everything to destabilise the country and a charter for those that have it all to get even richer at the expense of, and on the back of the workers that they want to eventually get rid of in favour of AI and automation.
Not one so called expert has got anything right in terms of the future of the country. And people insist on installing them in positions of power whilst they remain entrenched in the theories and decisions of the past that are proven to fail.
The old networks and ‘clubs’ for the powerful are difficult to remove but until they are nothing will ever change for the better of the majority.

Last construction numbers show a decline of -1.5%. Nothing to do with profiteers. We Brits ain’t building. Post referendum maintenance is down -3.5% also. We aren’t fixing anything either.
These 600 job losses are just the start.

Cost cutting nothing more they will still have 2030 stores obviously 30 that`s going are not paying their way
Reading further down it possibly looks like 30 stores out of 4 of the Companies they own excluding Wickes,not all out of TP

Absolutely not. But I too have been a casualty of ‘Britain Open For Business’ myself and accept that this is what working people now expect in this modern world. Social conscience and responsibilities don’t come into it. The world is a tough place.

I do hope this doesn’t effect My cash account discount card 
More seriously, I’m not surprised TP are looking at branch closures. There is a TP in Cromer and another In North Walsham, which was where I started My driving career 30 year ago, when it was an independent builders merchant(■■■ Supplies). Travis brought ■■■ in the late 90’s. These 2 sites are only about 12 miles from one another, I find it hard to believe that they would have planned the business in that way. The amount of construction work being carried out in this area of Norfolk is minimal, lets face it half of Cromer’s catchment is Sea. I’m not suggesting that either of these sites will close, but the network must have plenty of other locations similarly situated, as from the article it appears that TP did a lot of acquisitions to get to its market leading position. Maybe its a case of restructuring, and the EU referendum is being used as the whipping boy 
Best of luck to anyone effected by redundancy.

still whining about democracy.

You think a company that size made the decision to close 30 branches in the space of 5 months? Or that would decide to do it “just incase” because things are uncertain at the moment?
Did they ■■■■■■■■. More like brexit is a handy excuse for them

Bearing in mind we haven’t had Brexit yet and probably never will and the predictable economic zb storms like the late 1970’s and the 1980’s and 90’s that followed our entry into the EU having become a net importer of EU goods and paying a fortune for the privilege,not forgetting what the EU has done for Greece and the fact that the pound was worth 2.5 CHF and almost 2.5 dollars in 1969/70,isn’t the EU great.
Could it have anything to do with the rise of Selco?. After some googling,the Grafton group own Selco and Buildbase,among other companies
They opened a store in Walsall and shut it down a few months later so it’s nothing new
