Currys has warned they will hire less staff, and they are facing an extra ยฃ32 million in wage costs amid the Chancellorโ€™s Autumn Budget.

Currys has said it is โ€œinevitableโ€ prices will soar as the Budget will increase employersโ€™ national insurance contributions and the minimum wage from April.

Chief executive Alex Baldock said, โ€œWhat weโ€™re looking at, at the minute, is a period of reduced hiring.

โ€œWhat we want to be able to do is employ more people.โ€

Baldock has urged the government to think about phasing in the employers increases, this will help to ease cashflow to help soften the blow.
