Region/area structure tables

Tables which detail the structure of Sainsbury's areas/regions and the place of each branch within the structure. The tables are titled 'Area Structure - Branch Operations Division', 'Branch Operations Division Area Structure' or 'Retail Operations Regional Structure'.

Sainsbury's branches were organised into areas, later called regions. Each area/region had an area/regional office. The areas/regions were further subdivided into districts headed by a district manager who were based either in a particular store or at the area/regional office.

The document lists the areas/regions, the name of the senior manager of the area/region (titled AGM [area general manager?], area director, or regional director) and the district managers. Below each district manager's name is a list of the stores for which they were responsible.

The document was issued by the Branch Administration department (later called the Retail Operations department) to all departments and all branches (sent with bulletins and other communications).
