Audit committee hears Mahmud Kamani felt ‘punished’ by scrutiny of his dealings with Leicester suppliers
Scrutiny of Boohoo’s relationship with Leicester suppliers who paid workers illegally low wages felt like punishment for not taking more business out of the UK, the company’s founder, Mahmud Kamani, told MPs on Wednesday.
The billionaire owner of Boohoo was speaking to the environmental audit committee – which is investigating the impact of fast fashion – in an appearance that represented his most substantive public questioning since the scandal emerged this summer. Repeatedly he said that his company was “committed to making good”.
