UK's Next appoints Jeremy Stakol as new executive director

In his new role, Jeremy will be responsible for investments and acquisitions in third-party brands, promoting the Total Platform to potential new clients, selling all third-party fashion brands on Next’s website, developing Lipsy and other wholly owned non-Next brands, and overseeing overseas wholesale, franchise, and licencing of Next-branded stock.

Jeremy holds a master’s in professional accounting and started his career in the finance department of a media company. He joined Lipsy as managing director in 2004, and 14 years later, the company was acquired by Next.
