Bad Boss fined


Fashion company Hugo Boss has been handed a £1.2 million fine for breaches of health and safety law after four-year-old Austen Harrison was killed when an unsecured18-stone wall mirror fell on him in the changing room area of its Bicester Village store in June 2013. 


Oxford Crown Court heard that between 2011 and 2014, the turnover for Hugo Boss UK Limited rose from £124.8 million to £192.8 million, with pre-tax profits increasing from £16.6 million to £23.8 million over the four-year period.
