On this episode of Talking Shop I’m joined by Alain Bejjani—former Group CEO of Middle East retail giant Majid Al Futtaim, and author of the definitive new book, NEXT: Leading Through the New Realities. Drawing on his childhood in war-torn Beirut, and his experience steering a $9.5bn dollar retail and lifestyle empire through a global pandemic, Alain brings an unmatched perspective on leadership under pressure. Today, we break down his crisis survival playbook for retailers operating in distress. We discuss why resilience must always outpace efficiency, the four assets a brand must protect at all costs, and how to turn macro-turmoil into a long-term direction that scales.

Joules CEO Colin Porter is to retire before the end of 2020 after eight years working with the fashion retailer.

The exact date of Porter’s retirement is yet to be announced, however a process to appoint his successor has begun with the Joules board set to make an announcement in due course. The news comes after Porter accepted a role as chairman of clothing retailer, Moss Bros.

Porter has headed up the board at Joules since 2010 along with taking up a seat on the Moss Bros board as a non-executive director. Prior to his work with Joules and Moss Bros, Porter had spent time in senior roles at Arcadia Group, Laura Ashley, House of Fraser and Crombie.

Earlier this year, Joules announced 17.6% rise in revenue for the six months leading up to 25 November 2018.
