N Brown starts search for new chief executive
N Brown is commencing a search for a new chief executive following the news that current incumbent Angela Spindler is stepping down at the end of this month.
Steve Johnson, the company’s chief executive of its financial services business, will take on the role in an interim capacity until Spindler’s successor is appointed.
Matt Davies Chairman of N Brown Group, said: “We recognise that now is an appropriate time to search for a new leader who can take the business forward through the next phase of its development.
“I would like to thank Angela for her significant contribution as CEO. Angela has led the business with passion, energy and a relentless focus on building on the group’s industry leading fit specialism as well as building N Brown’s on-line capability and expertise.“
Spindler was appointed as chief executive in July 2013 after working in senior roles at Coca Cola, Mars, Asda, Debenhams and the Original Factory Shop.
N Brown’s portfolio of retail brands include JD Williams, Simply Be and Jacamo.
