Jamie Oliver is to bring back his restaurant chain next year.

A part of Jamie Oliver’s business empire has cut a firth of its workforce, according to reports, as the celebrity chef plans a return to the high street next year.

Jamie Oliver Group has shed 25 of its 126 employees through a redundancy round, Sky News has reported. City AM has contacted the group for comment.

In a statement issued to the broadcaster, a spokesperson said “the consultation [process] is complete”.

Jamie Oliver Group looks after the celebrity chef’s media activities, including digital content and third party deals.

The company itself is not connected to a move announced last week which will see Jamie’s Italian relaunched in the UK in 2026.
