Exec search | Ex- Apprentice star joins forces with Lord Sugar

The current crisis has had a damaging effect on several industries, including retail, tourism and catering, with each and every one announcing mass job cuts and redundancies.

Last week saw high street pharmacy store Boots announce the culling of 4,000 job roles, while department store John Lewis stated that 1,300 jobs would be at risk after announcing the closure of eight stores. Meanwhile, fast food giant Burger King could also face losing 1,600 staff members.
