The move comes after higher returns and cost-of-living pressures on customer spending led to Boohoo falling to a loss and its sales slumping during the first half of its financial year.

The group made a pre-tax loss of £15.2m for the six months to August 31, 2022, compared to a £24.6m profit during the same period in 2021.

Boohoo also reported a 10% drop in its revenue to £882.4m.
