THERE will be no forced redundancies of retail staff following Vodafone's acquisition of Three, the firm's chief executive has said, as the telecommunications giant gears up to find hundreds of millions of pounds of cost savings from the tie-up.

Vodafone chief executive Margherita Della Valle, who spearheaded the bumper £16.5bn merger shortly after taking the reins of the business in 2023, said the high street was still key to the firm's customer growth.

"From a retail perspective and a property perspective, it's really important to say that our presence in the high street is really key to our business model... you will continue to see it very strongly," Della Valle said.
