operational and commercial roles, and a full member of the Board since 2022.
His appointment supports the Board's focus on execution as the Group
accelerates its delivery of the 'Transform & Grow' strategy.

 

Commenting on the changes, Vanda Murray OBE, Chair, said:

"Simon has been integral to the growth and development of the Group over the
last 10 years. His appointment not only supports our desire to accelerate the
execution of the Group's strategy but is deserved recognition of his proven
ability to drive change and continuous improvement throughout the Group's
businesses."

 

Simon Bourne, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"I am honoured to be appointed as Marshalls' Chief Executive Officer. We have
a strong group of businesses, built on talented people and a culture that
values accountability, service and performance. The disciplined execution of
our 'Transform & Grow' strategy and the strengthening of our operational
foundations will underpin the sustainable future growth of the Group and will
be my immediate focus."
