Mike Ashley admits Sports Direct must improve working conditions at warehouse

For the first time Mike Ashley, the Founder and Deputy Chairman of Sports Direct, has admitted that the firm must improve working conditions at their main warehouse in Derbyshire, according to a letter to staff seen by the Telegraph.

Ashley is due to appear before MPs today after a last minute U-turn. This follows a deluge of criticism that includes an expose by The Guardian, a documentary by the BBC and accusations of Victorian practises by former Labour leader Ed Miliband.
