The group, which owns Lookfantastic, Cult Beauty and Myprotein, announced that all employees working at its Manchester head office will be required to return to the office for five days a week starting January 2, 2024.

There was no consultation with employees before the change was announced and there has been no communication as to whether or not they will be compensated for any additional travel costs. However, Retail Week understands that there’s no legal obligation for an employer to do so.
