Body Shop To Cut Jobs

The company said it is consulting employees about proposals to reduce its global workforce by 275 jobs to make the business more efficient.

 The Body Shop, which employs 9,200 people worldwide, was
founded by Anita Roddick in 1976 and is now owned by cosmetics giant L'Oreal.
The Body Shop recently revealed that like-for-like sales fell 0.9% to E249.5m
in its last quarter. The difficult economic climate hit Body Shop sales in
Britain, Spain and North America. As part of the reorganisation, Body Shop said
it would refocus the business to better support its 2,500 outlets worldwide and
improve its product innovation.
