Burberry's Six Million Pound Woman - 16/06/10


Say hello to the six million pound woman, Angela Ahrendts of Burberry. Since taking over as boss in 2006, Ahrendt has continued to grow the luxury label from strength to strength (impressive to say the least with the dire situation of the industry over the past 20 months).

Heading up 23% on last year, company profits were reported in May 2010 to be at 215 million pound, while sales reached 1.28 billion pounds, pushing a 7% increase. And it only gets better from here, as Burberry look to expand in Brazil, Mexico and India, but for now, a job well done!
