DIY giant B&Q has denied it wants to axe 20 jobs at its Bolton store.
The company said it is “rescheduling” staff so they in the right place at the right time.
But a source said staff have been told up to 20 redundancies are being sought at the Bolton Gate Retail Park store over the next couple of weeks.
A spokesman for B&Q said: “This is not a cost-saving exercise but a rescheduling proposal to ensure we have the right people at the right place at the right time to better serve our customers at the times they need us most.
“Our priority is to safeguard jobs and as we are now in a period of consultation with a small number of our employees.
“If any redundancies result, it will be a very last resort.”
