LONDON (Alliance News) - Household and personal care products company McBride PLC on Friday appointed John Coleman to the position of chairman elect, after having announced in February the retirement of Ian Napier.

Coleman is currently the chairman of Bonmarche Holdings PLC and privately-owned home care service provider Barchester Healthcare Ltd.
McBride said Coleman has "had significant executive experience in the retail sector", having been chief executive of House of Fraser until 2006 and chief executive of Texas Homecare, part of Ladbrokes PLC, before.
Shares in McBride were flat at 160.00 pence on Friday.
