LONDON (Alliance News) - FTSE 250-listed homewares retailer Dunelm Group PLC on Friday said it has appointed John Browett as its new chief executive, with current chief Will Adderley to revert to his role as deputy chairman.
Browett will join Dunelm's board on July 1 and will take over as chief executive on January 1, 2016 following a six-month handover period working alongside Adderley.
Browett is the former chief executive of Dixons Retail PLC, the electronics retailer which merged with Carphone Warehouse PLC to form Dixons Carphone PLC last year, and spent his early career working at supermarket Tesco PLC. He joins the company from his role as the chief executive of women's fashion retailer Monsoon Accessorize.
Dunelm also said it has appointed William Reeve as a non-executive director on its board. He is the co-founder of LOVEFILM.com, the now-Amazon.com-owned video streaming service.
The company also said it is well-advanced in appointing a successor to David Stead, its chief financial officer, who is set to retire later this year.
