Each one of our new directors brings a breadth and depth of experience that will help energise our entire organisation to sustain our momentum and keep pace with our continued growth in the market.”
New Chief Marketing Officer, Lindsay Ball, was brought on board due to her strong portfolio in working with ‘flagship’ brands within FTSE 250 and private equity organisations in this retail sector. Lindsay has over 30 years’ omni-channel marketing and commercial experience including Greggs, Dominos, Pizza Hut, Leasing.com, offering an enviable blend of classic brand marketing strategy, digital and e-commerce success.
