No starts: Incoming Fenwick boss Nigel Blow claims he was ‘sacked’ before even starting because he worked at Harrods under disgraced Mohamed Al Fayed
Fenwick’s incoming boss claims he was “sacked” before he even started because he worked at Harrods under the disgraced Mohamed Al Fayed.
More than 100 women have claimed Al Fayed, who died last year aged 94, assaulted or raped them following a shocking BBC investigation.
And now Nigel Blow has claimed his job offer was withdrawn due to his connection to scandal-plagued Harrods.
“Fenwick terminated my employment on a Teams call,” he told the Mail. Blow worked at Harrods for 12 years between 1992 and 2007, during the time it was owned by Al Fayed.
He was most recently boss of London department store chain Morleys and was set to start his new job this week.
But Fenwick appeared to contradict him, saying: “Nigel Blow has informed us that he will no longer hold this position.”
Blow, Harrods’ former chief merchandiser, told the Telegraph he had “absolutely no knowledge of anything” related to the abuse. He added: “The women who came out were extremely brave.”
