Burberry has parted company with their diversity chief after the luxury fashion house announced plans to cut 1,700 jobs worldwide.
Geoffrey Williams – who describes himself as a ‘key thought leader’ – 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.
It does remain a widely popular British brand and enjoyed a resurgence in popularity this summer during the Oasis reunion tour.
