Frasers Group non-exec director steps down

Frasers Group non-executive director Anouska Kapur has stepped down from the board with immediate effect, just three months after joining Mike Ashley’s retail group.

A brief statement to the London Stock Exchange on the evening of 21 December said that Kapur was leaving the board “to avoid any actual or perceived conflicts of interest with a third party professional services firm”.

In the statement, Frasers Group said that the departure showed its “commitment to good corporate governance”.

David Daly, chairman of the board, added: “We would like to thank Anouska for her contribution.”

Kapur is a partner at law firm Child & Child, which specialises in real estate.
