Identity division closes at H&M

Holmes & Marchant parent Hunstworth has closed H&M’s corporate identity division.

The closure means the loss of ‘five or six’ jobs, including that of creative director Stuart Pickering.

Lord Chadlington, chief executive officer of Huntsworth, says that H&M’s corporate identity division had ‘become a less and less significant part of the group’ and that it is concentrating on its packaging outfit Holmes & Marchant International.
