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.

Sosandar has announced the appointment of Nick Mustoe as its interim non-executive chairman.

The move comes after its former non-executive chairman Bill Murray suddenly passed away in February 2023.

Mustoe was formerly a non-executive director and will take the role of NE chairman until a permanent replacement can be found.

Mustoe said: “While it is in incredibly sad circumstances that I take this role, as Bill was a fantastic chairman and has left a lasting legacy to the business, I am proud to have been appointed as interim non-executive chairman.

“I look forward to working with Ali, Julie, Steve and the rest of the board as the group continues to move forward on its journey to become one of the largest womenswear brands globally.”

Sosandar is one of the fastest growing women’s fashion brands in the UK, it was founded in 2016 and listed on AIM in 2017.
