“I am delighted to welcome Helen and Alastair to the Board of Superdry. Since becoming chairman in April, it has been a priority of mine to restore the Board to full strength and these appointments are a big step in that direction. Both Helen and Alastair have extensive relevant experience in the retail sector and have served as CFOs of major listed companies. As such, I am sure they will both prove excellent additions to the Board as Superdry embarks on its turnaround. We continue to search for an additional two non-executive directors and will make further announcements in due course,” Peter Williams, chairman at Superdry said. (GK)
