CBI Director General Tony Danker has been sacked after a probe into allegations of misconduct at work
Three other CBI employees have been suspended pending more investigations.
The under-fire business group were forced to cancel all its events last week after a string of misconduct allegations.
Allegations of sexual assault and rape have forced the Confederation of British Industry, which represents 190,000 businesses, to act.
It has even scrubbed next month’s annual dinner, which would have been attended by the Governor of the Bank of England Andrew Bailey.
Mr Danker previously said his conduct was “completely unintentional” but he was forced to step down and remains under investigation.
More than a dozen women alleged sexual misconduct by senior CBI staff.
One claimed she was raped at a staff party on a boat on the Thames in 2019.
The Government gave the business group the cold shoulder following the sleaze scandal.
