“New Look’s relationship with the Retail Trust goes back many years and I am honoured to be joining the Trust as an ambassador. New Look would not be the leading womenswear retailer it is without the hard work and commitment of our employees right across the business, and ensuring our colleagues also feel empowered to take control of their wellbeing is vital to our team. I look forward to working with the Retail Trust as it continues its mission of supporting retail workers across our industry.”
