Online retailer Boohoo to cut more than 400 suppliers

Move comes after critical report into labour practices at some clothes manufacturers

Boohoo is cutting suppliers due to concerns over employee working conditions.

Online fashion retailer Boohoo – which recently acquired Dorothy Perkins, Wallis and Burton as part of the break-up of Philip Green’s Arcadia group – is to cut more than 400 companies from its supplier network following a critical report last year on labour practices at some of those businesses.

The fast-growing retailer has published a list of 78 approved manufacturers operating across 100 sites in Britain.
