He said: "We’ve already begun our turnaround programme to drive Wilko forward. As part of this we quickly identified significant changes to the Wilko operating model to enable us to stabilise the business, and then thrive again."

He told your Guardian that three key priorities have been set within the new strategic plan:
Getting the business in better shape;
Drive sales both instore and online;
Driving down operating costs.

The company is also instigating a more streamlined senior management structure.

He continued: "

"To deliver our strategic priorities we must remain focused, and our leadership structure needs to be fully aligned to achieve this.

"Having now reviewed the current structure, we need to remove both the duplication of functions and operating costs. As part of this review, we’ve had to take some necessary and difficult decisions as we create a new operating structure that helps stabilise the business, from which we can then drive the business forward.
