Watford MP Dean Russell made the comments when he visited ASOS in Leavesden to learn about the retailers’ new plans.

He said: “It was good to hear from the new director of customer care about the diverse range of roles at the site and the desire to attract local people when new opportunities arise, as well as to learn how ASOS are focusing on becoming more environmentally friendly and inclusive.”
