The Body Shop staff fear company will be broken up, risking 2200 jobs

Aurelius, the German restructuring specialist, has broken up two other UK retailers, and now The Body Shop staff fear that their company will be the next victim. With 2200 jobs at stake, employees are concerned about the potential consequences of a breakup.

The Body Shop is a well-known brand that specializes in ethically sourced beauty products. Founded in 1976, it has been a pioneer in promoting cruelty-free cosmetics and fair trade practices. The company has a strong global presence, with over 3,000 stores in more than 60 countries.

However, the recent actions of Aurelius have raised concerns among The Body Shop staff. The German restructuring specialist has a track record of breaking up struggling companies and selling off their assets. This has resulted in significant job losses and uncertainty for employees.
