Photographic retailer Jessops plans to cut 550 jobs across its retail stores in the UK. It is part of a strategic review which aims to save the Leicester firm 15 million GBP. The company has been suffering from strong internet and supermarket competition in the digital camera and equipment markets. Commenting on latest moves, executive chairman David Adams, said: 'The strategy allows us to re-position Jessops as a true multi-channel retailer, building on our core strengths in the digital imaging market place.' He continued: 'The board is confident that Jessops will deliver a significant turnaround in its financial performance.'
