Boots workers have been told they will be expected to come back to the office for the full working week. The high street chemist, which was founded in Nottingham in 1849 and has for a long time been the region's largest company, has around 8,000 employees at its headquarters based in Thane Road, Beeston.
A message from Sebastian James, managing director of Boots UK, said: "In line with a majority of UK businesses, I want to start a thoughtful plan that gets us back to the office -whether Nottingham, London or Weybridge - being the normal place of work for everybody for the whole working week.
A Boots spokesperson confirmed its commitment to bringing staff back to the office by September, but acknowledged there would be times when people have to work from home. “We are asking team members to make the office their usual place of work from September 1," the representative said.
