"It is an honour to be appointed Chairman of this iconic British
brand at such a critical time and I would like to extend my huge
thanks to Sharon for leading the Board in the interim period.
These are unprecedented times, and while I do not underestimate

foundations from which to build: a refreshed and committed
leadership team, fronted by Rachel Osborne; dedicated and loyal
colleagues; a strong brand which resonates with customers;
diversified income streams and a well-invested, omni-channel
platform.
I look forward to working alongside my fellow Board members and
