Boohoo directors ‘knew of supply chain problems months before scandal’

MPs questioned Boohoo bosses over conditions in Leicester as early as November 2018 (Boohoo/PA)

Senior directors at Boohoo knew about “serious issues” over how workers were treated at its supply chain in Leicester months before reporting brought the issue to the fore, a review has found.

Lawyer Alison Levitt QC, who had been hired by the company to review its practices, said that whereas she found no evidence Boohoo had committed any crimes, staff at factories in Leicester had worked in poor conditions for low pay.
