A former Superdry designer has won nearly £100,000 from the company after it refused to promote her because of her age.
Knitwear design specialist Rachel Sunderland, who has more than 30 years’ experience working in fashion, was employed by the Gloucestershire-headquartered firm between 2015 and 2020. The 56-year-old quit in 2020 after being repeatedly passed over for promotion by less experienced members of staff.
According to the tribunal documents, Superdry thought her risk of leaving the company was low “no matter how she was treated”.
