Board Change
Ted Baker, the British designer brand, announces that Robert
Breare has notified the Board of his intention to step down as Non
Executive Chairman after more than 11 years in the role effective
of today's date.
The Board is pleased to announce that David Bernstein, currently
Senior Independent Non Executive Director, will succeed Robert
Breare as Non Executive Chairman with immediate effect.
David, who joined the Ted Baker Board in 2003, has extensive
international retail experience, previously as joint Managing
Director of Pentland Group and as Chairman of Blacks Leisure plc
and French Connection plc. David is currently Chairman of The
Football Association and is a Non-Executive Director of Wembley
National Stadium Limited.
David will also chair the Board's Nomination Committee. Ron
Stewart, an Independent Non Executive Director since 2009, will
become Senior Independent Non Executive Director and Anne
Sheinfield, an Independent Non Executive Director since 2010, will
become Chairman of the Remuneration Committee.
Robert Breare commented: "It has been a privilege to chair the
Board of Ted Baker for more than a decade, over which period Ted
Baker has achieved remarkable growth while becoming a truly global
brand. Following today's positive Christmas period trading update,
and with increasing executive commitments such as Snoozebox, I feel
it is time to hand over to a new Chairman to lead the Board as Ted
Baker continues its development. David Bernstein is a very
experienced and respected candidate who, along with the rest of the
Board, I am certain will lead Ted Baker to further success."
David Bernstein commented: "I am delighted to accept the
Chairman's role. I am incredibly proud to have been associated with
Ted Baker since joining the Board in 2003 and I look forward to
continuing to work with the Ted Baker team to deliver the exciting
opportunities ahead."
Ray Kelvin CBE, founder and Chief Executive, commented: "On
behalf of the Board I would like to thank Robert for his major
contribution during his time with Ted Baker. Under his
Chairmanship, Ted Baker has developed globally in a measured and
consistent manner whilst always maintaining an emphasis on design,
product quality and attention to detail that underpin everything we
do."
