A MUM has claimed pregnancy discrimination against Isle of Wight based skincare brand Liz Earle.

Helen Larkin, 38, was made redundant from her digital channel marketing manager position at Liz Earle Beauty in Ryde on June 15, 2018, before having her baby on July 24.

The Portsmouth News has reported that the mum-of-two, of Southsea, worked for the company since 2013.

She is claiming unfair dismissal and pregnancy discrimination against Liz Earle, now a subsidiary of Walgreens Boots Alliance, after believing her redundancy was entirely due to her pregnancy.

Mrs Larkin told Southampton Employment Tribunal she was subjected to unfair procedures while being made redundant just two weeks after being told about Liz Earle’s ‘restructuring’ plans, where jobs could be lost.

The case continues.
