THE boss of Primark has quit after an investigation was launched into alleged inappropriate behaviour towards a female member of staff.
Paul Marchant has stepped down as chief executive of the high-street brand with immediate effect.
The company said Mr Marchant co-operated with the investigation, “acknowledged his error of judgment and accepts that his actions fell below the standards expected by ABF”.
“He has made an apology to the individual concerned, the ABF Board and also to his Primark colleagues and others connected to the business,” it added.
ABF stressed that it will continue to offer support to the individual who brought the incident to its attention
