The founder and chief executive of fashion chain Ted Baker has taken voluntary leave after becoming embroiled in harassment allegations.
Ray Kelvin, who studied at JFS, was accused of a pattern of harassment, including making new staff hug him and getting women sit on his lap.
He opted to take a "voluntary leave of absence" after the Sunday Times presented the company with claims by a former employee that Mr Kelvin had assaulted her.
The company told the paper an independent investigation into the matter, to be conducted by City law firm Herbert Smith Freehills, would "consider all relevant matters which have been or are notified to the company".
