Hanna Yusuf, an ‘inspirational’ BBC Journalist who uncovered the working conditions at Costa Coffee stores among a string of investigations has died aged 27.
Hanna Yusuf worked as a researcher on the News at Six and Ten before moving to the BBC News Channel and writing for the BBC News website.
Her investigation into Costa Coffee working conditions revealed managers alleged refusal to pay sickness or annual leave and tips being withheld from staff.
Hanna’s family said they were “deeply saddened and heartbroken” by her death and hoped her legacy “would serve as an inspiration”.
“While we mourn her loss, we hope that Hanna’s legacy will serve as an inspiration and beacon to her fellow colleagues and to her community and her meaningful memory and the people she has touched for many years lives on.”
