BOARD CHANGES
After 28 years of outstanding service, Amanda James, NEXT's
Chief Financial Officer, has decided to retire from full time work,
and will step down from the Board with effect from 26 July 2024.
Amanda is planning to leave the Group on 26 September 2024
following our Interim results. Amanda has been planning this change
for some time and it coincides with her husband's retirement.
Amanda has made a huge contribution to the Group in her 28 years
with NEXT and has been an exceptional guardian of our finances. Our
financial position today is testament to her diligence and hard
work . The Board is extremely grateful to Amanda for her excellent
service to the Group.
We are pleased to announce that Amanda's successor will be
Jonathan Blanchard, currently CFO at Reiss. Jonathan will join NEXT
in February 2024 and take over as CFO in July 2024 and also join
the Board of Next plc at that time.
Jonathan is currently the CFO and Chief Operating Officer of the
Reiss Group, having joined the Company as a Board Director in 2017.
Jonathan qualified as a Certified Chartered Accountant in 1994 and
has over thirty years of experience in finance. The last twenty
five years of his career have been at Board level in private equity
backed businesses, all of which were in the retail/consumer
sectors. Jonathan has a wealth of experience implementing rigorous
financial and capital controls; he has also managed several
successful private equity transactions. Jonathan played a critical
role at Reiss, not least negotiating and implementing the
transition to Total Platform. We have worked closely with Jonathan
for over three years and believe that his skills are well suited to
NEXT's financial disciplines and its culture.
The Board confirms that no other disclosures need to be made
under Listing Rule 9.6.13 in respect of this appointment.
