Waitrose in the news
It’s a time of change at Waitrose. Its managing director has stepped down as part of a radical restructure that will see it run as one business with John Lewis, with both brands adding '& Partners' to their names to emphasise the message to their customers.
Waitrose announced the closure of seven stores last summer and its deal to sell products through Ocado will end in autumn 2020.
In April 2019, we investigated how much supermarket plastic packaging is recyclable - you can see how Waitrose compared to other supermarkets in supermarket plastic packaging.
