Lego gives staff extra three days off as a thank you after an ‘extraordinary year’

Lego is giving all of its 20,000 staff an extra three days off and an additional bonus to thank them for an "extraordinary" year.

The announcement by the family-owned Danish toy giant comes after it earlier this year reported a 140% rise in first-half profits to 6.3bn kroner (£720m), as sales surged 46% to 23bn (£2.6bn) kroner.

Lego benefited from a surge in demand for its bricks during the pandemic and more recently its policy of siting production close to key markets helped it remain resilient as supply chain issues hit the global economy.
