Marks & Spencer hires Eoin Tonge as chief financial officer
Marks & Spencer has announced that it has appointed Eoin Tonge as its new chief financial officer.
Due to join the business in June, he will also be part of the M&S board.
Tonge has been working as chief financial officer of Greencore Group since 2016. Prior to that, he was managing director of the group’s grocery business and also helped create a ‘food to go’ focused strategy as chief strategy officer.
Steve Rowe, M&S chief executive, said: “Eoin’s appointment concludes a rigorous search for a world-class finance director. He brings in-depth knowledge of food, as well as strategy and operations, and is another addition to the very strong management team we are building to transform M&S.”
David Surdeau has been working in the role on an interim basis and will remain with the business for the time being to ensure a smooth handover.
