FASHION retailer Boohoo has cut more than 400 firms from its supply network after allegations over low pay and working conditions for factory staff.
The company, which maintains a major distribution hub in Burnley and has recently announced a major expansion in the town, revealed the list of companies it was no longer working with in a bid to repair its reputation after allegations last year that some factories in the UK working for the firm were paying staff as little as £3.50 an hour and had working conditions which did not meet lockdown restrictions.
Boohoo's new list of 78 approved suppliers across 100 factories represents a significant drop on the 500 suppliers it had previously identified before the allegations hit.
