The managing director of Harrods has said he was “not aware” of allegations of sexual abuse against former owner Mohamed Al Fayed and added that he is “deeply sorry” for “failing colleagues” at the department store.

Michael Ward, who has been at the helm since 2005 and worked for Al Fayed between 2006 and 2010, said he wanted to express his “personal horror” at the allegations and emphasised he was “not aware of [Al Fayed’s] criminality and abuse”.
