Boohoo is preparing to cut around 100 jobs connected with the former Arcadia brands Burton, Dorothy Perkins and Wallis.<\/strong><\/p>\n Burton<\/a>, Dorothy Perkins<\/a>, and Wallis<\/a> were rescued from administration by the Boohoo Group<\/a> <\/span>for \u00a325 million in 2020.<\/p>\n Staff working at its London office across the e-commerce, buying, and design departments jobs are under threat. The Manchester-based fashion giant denied that the former Arcadia brands were being merged, instead saying they are 'undergoing an organisational restructure'.<\/p>\n The retailer is set to move teams from its recent fashion acquisitions, including Oasis<\/a><\/span>, Karen Millen<\/a><\/span>, Dorothy Perkins<\/a><\/span>, Wallis<\/a><\/span>, Coast<\/a><\/span>, and Burton<\/a><\/span>, under Debenhams.com<\/a><\/span> umbrella. The brands will retain their distinct identities, including their own websites.<\/p>\n A spokesperson for Boohoo Group said: \"To ensure long-term, sustainable growth of our brands we have taken the difficult but necessary decision to consider a proposal to reduce the number of roles in specific areas of the business.<\/p>\n \"Our people teams will be supporting those potentially affected. We are committed to our portfolio and believe that all of our brands have a significant role in the ongoing success of the group and are maximising their individual potential for growth.\"<\/p>\n Boohoo said that a consultation is underway and a decision on the final number of job cuts had not been decided or actioned yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":114,"featured_media":223723,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,20822,10494],"tags":[3791,17331,12039,3514,12746,10551,11814,12749],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
