LONDON (ShareCast) - (Sharecast News) - Alison Rose, the former chief executive of NatWest, has taken a job as an adviser to one of the UK's top law firms as she tries to return to the City after a career-damaging row with Nigel Farage last year. Rose is joining Mishcon de Reya as a diversity and inclusion adviser, a role that will involve mentoring some of the firm's partners. She will also work closely with the equity, diversity and inclusion committee at the firm, which is known for having represented Diana, Princess of Wales during her divorce. - Guardian

"I made a series of mistakes and felt like a fool," the boss of Boden has admitted after his preppy British fashion brand sank further into the red last year.

Amazon employees have been told to return to working from the office five days a week from the start of next year, as the giant online retailer reverses a host of pandemic-era policies.
