Mulberry financial director to step down

On this episode of Talking Shop, we're joined by Dan Cate, CEO and Founder of SoldThrough. Dan is a heavyweight retail executive who has spent decades steering the merchandising and digital operations of America’s most iconic retail institutions, from Saks Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdale’s to Century 21 and Lord & Taylor. Today, through his platform SoldThrough, Dan helps international fashion brands cross the Atlantic and crack the notoriously brutal U.S. retail landscape. We break down his journey from the shop floor to the C-suite, the operational indicators that prove a brand is truly ready for international expansion, and how to navigate a fragmented American market without destroying your margins. We also discuss how to balance localised inventory with central efficiency, and the one non-negotiable metric that tells you a product has found genuine market fit.

British luxury brand Mulberry has announced that Charles Anderson, group financial director, has notified the board of his intention to resign.

While Anderson will step down from the board with effect from 31 January, he will continue to support the business until 1 August to “assist with the handover and transition of his responsibilities”, in line with Mulberry’s succession policy. 

The retailer’s board has already begun a process to identify Anderson’s successor, and a further announcement will be made “in due course”.

Chris Roberts, chairman of Mulberry, said: “I would like to thank Charles for his valuable contribution to the group over the past five years. His leadership, particularly over the last year, has been instrumental in steering the business through a very challenging period. 

“We wish him every success in his future endeavours.”

Anderson added: “I would like to thank the board and my colleagues for their support in my time as group finance director. Mulberry is an iconic brand and it has been a privilege to be part of its journey. 

“I am confident that Mulberry is well-positioned for future success and I wish the team all the best in the years ahead.”
