LONDON (Alliance News) - Sports Direct International PLC Thursday said it has made Group Financial Controller Matt Pearson its acting chief financial officer and he will take his place on the board with immediate effect.
Pearson joined the sports goods retailer as group financial accountant from EY in June 2007, and subsequently became financial controller.
"After a thorough process and following soundings from leading institutions I am delighted that Matt has been appointed Acting Chief Financial Officer and is to join the board. Matt is already leading our group finance team and is now perfectly placed to take on the additional responsibilities of this role on an interim basis," Chairman Keith Hellawell said in a statement.
The company's previous financial director, Bob Mellors, retired in the financial year that ended in April 2014. It didn't say why Pearson has been given the role on an acting basis.
