UK-based online retailer of musical instruments and music equipment Gear4music has announced the appointment of Sharon Daly as non-executive director, commencing 5 July 2024.
Daly has significant experience of serving on the boards of AIM-listed companies as both executive and non-executive director.
She joined Warpaint London PLC as a non-executive director in January 2024 and is a member of its Audit and Remuneration Committees.
Daly also has more than 25 years of business experience, predominantly in marketing, international sales and business development roles. She co-founded Venture Life Group in 2010 and made a significant contribution to the growth of the business from inception, until she left in 2023, including its admission to trading on AIM in 2014.
Additionally, Daly is also an independent non-executive director at AIM listed Brickability Group Plc, where she is a member of the Audit Committee and chair of the Remuneration Committee.
As previously announced, Ken Ford (non-executive chair) and Dean Murray (NED) are approaching the end of their nine-year tenure and are stepping down from the board on 5 July 2024.
Meanwhile, Neil Catto, CFO of Revolution Beauty Group Plc and former CFO of BooHoo Group plc, will also join the board as senior independent director (‘SID’) on 5 July 2024.
Andrew Wass, CEO and executive chair designate of Gear4music, said: “Sharon is a highly regarded NED with valuable experience of Plc governance and online consumer businesses and is well placed to support the strategy in pursuit of our growth ambitions.”
Daly added: “I am thrilled to be joining Gear4music as non-executive director at this exciting time in the company’s journey. I look forward to working alongside Neil, Andrew and the rest of the board and leveraging my experience to further contribute to the board’s effectiveness, helping ensure robust governance structures are in place.
“My role as NED will be to support Neil and Harriet Williams in providing a balanced perspective, support transparent decision-making, and facilitate effective communication between the board and all our stakeholders. Together, I am confident we will continue to drive Gear4music forward while staying true to the principles that have made the business a leader in its field.”
