Primark's owner has announced that 400 jobs are being cut across the fashion chain’s UK stores as part of an overhaul of its retail management team, PA reports.
Associated British Foods, which owns the fashion retail giant has revealed a hit to the fashion chain’s recent trading as the Omicron variant of coronavirus kept shoppers away from stores.
The group said Primark’s UK like-for-like sales were 10% lower in the 16 weeks to January 8 when compared with pre-pandemic levels two years ago, with so-called shopper footfall hit by the rapid rise in Omicron cases.
