River Island is axing 250 head office roles in a bid to reduce costs following the fall in sales triggered by the coronavirus pandemic and subsequently reduced footfall.
In an internal email sent to staff seen by Retail Week, River Island boss Will Kernan said the business will ânow have a requirement for some 250 fewer people in the businessâ.
Retail Week understands these redundancies will be made across all the retailerâs head office departments.
