Burberry’s Business Struggles Worsen With 1,700 Job Cuts

It’s been a tough year for Burberry—and the British luxury brand isn’t out of the woods yet. Today, the label announced it will cut 1,700 jobs to reduce business costs by 2027, according to BBC. The plan was proposed after Burberry reported 2024 losses of £66 million, and will primarily affect employees based in the label’s home country of the United Kingdom—though it’ll also lead to losses in Burberry’s international offices, as well. Within the job cuts, Burberry will also cut night shifts for workers at its Castleford factories that produce the label’s signature trench coats. The news follows Burberry’s challenging 2024, which included cuts up to 400 employees, low retail sales, and a stock market value drop.
