Online fashion Retailer Boohoo has announced the appointment of Alistair McGeorge as an independent non-executive director of the board.
McGeorge will succeed Brian Small as the group’s deputy chairman and will act as interim chair of the audit committee until the search for an additional non-executive director is complete.
He has worked in the retail industry for over 30 years, holding major leadership roles in multiple retail brands in the UK and internationally. He is currently the non-executive chairman of East Imperial plc and The Original Factory Shop, as well as chair of The Retail Trust, which provides support to retail employees.
In addition to McGeorge’s appointment, Neil Catto has stepped down as executive director after being with the group for 12 years.
Mahmud Kamani, group executive chairman, said: “Alistair has extensive board-level experience with some great retail brands. We look forward to working with him and are confident that he will help us deliver our ambition to be the global fashion leader.
“Neil has been with the Group for 12 years and is held in the highest regard for his substantial contribution. He has been instrumental in building the Group from a one-brand-business and into a multi-brand platform. I, on behalf of the wider Board, management team and group, wish Neil and Brian the very best for the future.”
