Retail group Boots warned today of up to 2,250 job losses over the next three years after revealing plans for a major overhaul of its warehouse operation.

The company said the creation of a new automated warehouse in Nottingham would allow it to replace 17 regional sites with smaller lorry-docking facilities.

Boots also said it was investing money in improving 700 smaller stores, including through enhancements to its pharmacy service.
