Appointment of Chief Financial Officer
Dunelm Group plc ("Dunelm" or "the Group"), announces that Laura
Carr will be appointed as Chief Financial Officer. Laura will join
Dunelm in the Autumn, with the exact date to be announced in due
course.
Laura is Group Financial Controller of Compass Group, the FTSE
30 multinational contract food, hospitality and support services
company, a position which she has held since February 2017. Prior
to this Laura was CFO of Indigo Books & Music, Canada's largest
book, gift and speciality toy retailer, from 2014 to 2017. Laura
held a number of senior finance roles with Japan Tobacco
International between 2004 and 2013. She qualified as a Chartered
Accountant with PriceWaterhouseCoopers.
Laura succeeds Keith Down, who is stepping down to take up a
role closer to his family home, as announced in February. David
Stead, Dunelm's former CFO, has joined the Group as Interim CFO to
help smooth the transition, which has allowed Keith to step down
from the Board slightly earlier than expected, on 24 May 2018. Due
to the short period of David's role, he will not join the
Board.
Andy Harrison, Chairman of Dunelm, said:
"We are looking forward to Laura joining the Dunelm team to work
with Nick Wilkinson, our new CEO. Laura brings a breadth of
business and finance experience, which will really help us to
achieve our ambitious business plans to become the leading
multi-channel retailer in our space".
Laura Carr said:
"I am delighted to be joining Dunelm and getting back to the
dynamic world of retail once again. Dunelm is a strong market
leader with exciting plans for growth and I am looking forward to
being part of the ambitious executive team."
