Popular fashion brand, Burberry has parted company with its diversity chief after the luxury fashion house announced plans to cut 1,700 jobs worldwide. Geoffrey Williams was the global vice president of colleague attraction and inclusion at Burberry until he was let go over the summer. The departure of Mr Williams is part of major cost-cutting measures which could see up to a fifth of the workplace culled, leading to 1,700 job losses by 2027. Burberry has claimed that the fashion house aims to save at least 60million with the cuts. The job losses come after Burberry posted a 66million loss for the 12 months to March 29 after sales fell 12 per cent to 2.5billion amid a slump in China. Burberry’s boss Joshua Schulman, speaking in May, blamed the UK’s punitive tourist tax and Donald Trump’s tariffs for the slump in sales.
