Cosmetics brand Lush says it is laying off staff as it scales down operations at its Vancouver facilities.
Amanda Caruso, a spokesperson for the U.K.-based brand, refused to say how many workers will lose their jobs as part of cuts to the company’s Canadian footprint, citing privacy concerns.
However, she confirmed the scale-down will mean closing a B.C. woodshop run by the brand, and manufacturing operations in Vancouver will be shifted to Toronto.
Caruso said the moves are meant to deliver operational efficiency and ensure the long-term success of the brand.
She said the changes won’t cause any immediate impacts to Lush shops, its online store or its app services, and says some staff will be relocated or transitioned to new roles.
The changes are expected to be complete by Feb. 26, 2025, she said.
