Luxury group Burberry has launched a formal process through which it could make around 400 employees redundant. By Leatherbiz.
A report in London-based daily newspaper The Telegraph said the company had already begun a compulsory 45-day consultation period with employees. The newspaper said employees had found out about the impending job-cuts in late June.
Burberry reported its most recent full-year results in May. Revenues fell by 4% year on year to reach just under £3 billion, but operating profits were down by 34%, reaching £418 million.
The company has made no public comment about the proposed job-cuts. It employs a total of 9,000 people around the world.
We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
