Unbound Group has announced that chief financial officer (CFO), Dan Lampard, will step down from the role and the board, effective 1 October 2022, to take up the position of CFO with another business.
In his place, Gavin Manson, currently a non-executive director of the company, will take over as CFO with effect from 1 October.
Manson is an experienced listed company CFO, who has led digital and business transformation in the consumer sector in the UK and internationally for over 30 years.
He has been a director of Hotter Shoes, Unbound Group’s main trading business, since 2017 and Unbound said he was instrumental in developing the company’s growth strategy.
Manson will also step down as chair of the Audit and Risk Committee from 1 October, and a search for a replacement has commenced.
Meanwhile, Kate Rock will be appointed as interim chair of the Audit and Risk Committee.
Neil Johnson, chairman of Unbound Group plc, said: “The board thanks Dan for his contribution to the group through the AIM listing process and beyond, and we wish him well in his new role.
“We are delighted that Gavin has agreed to reassume an executive role as CFO. With his extensive and highly relevant public markets experience, and his deep knowledge of the business, he is ideally placed to support our CEO Ian Watson in delivering Unbound Group’s strategy.”
