...but it’s OK for some

MORE than 20 senior staff from the online clothing giant Boohoo flew to Dubai last week despite official guidance against international travel.

They made the 3,400-mile trip last Sunday by private jet.

Sources at the Manchester firm say they met Umar Kamani, 32 – pictured with his Arabic model girlfriend Nada Adelle – owner of retailer Pretty Little Thing and son of Boohoo owner Mahmud Kamani. They were due to return last Friday, but some are thought to have stayed.

Boohoo insisted the staff were tested before they left the UK and Dubai, adding: ‘This business trip to meet suppliers was planned extremely carefully in accordance with current guidance.’
