Directorate Change
Dunelm Group ("Dunelm" or "the Group"), the UK's leading
homewares retailer, announces that Keith Down, its Chief Financial
Officer, has informed the Board that he will step down in June to
take up a role closer to his family home.
A search for Keith's successor is under way and we hope to make
an appointment before Keith's departure on 15(th) June. In the
event that the new appointee is unable to start before Keith
leaves, David Stead, Keith's predecessor as CFO of Dunelm, has
agreed to become Interim CFO during any transition period. David
will join the Board during this period.
David was Chief Financial Officer of Dunelm Group plc from 15
September 2003 until his retirement from that role on 31 December
2015. He is a Non-Executive Director of Card Factory plc and
Majestic Wine plc, and the Senior Independent Non-Executive
Director of Joules Group Plc.
Andy Harrison, Dunelm Chairman said,
"We thank Keith for his valuable contribution to Dunelm and wish
him well in his next role. We are working with Keith for a smooth
transition to his successor, who will work alongside Nick
Wilkinson, our new CEO, to ensure we maintain our momentum."
Keith Down said,
"I have enjoyed my time at Dunelm. The business has made great
progress during the last few years and has laid the foundations for
an exciting future. For me, it is important that I now take a role
closer to home for family reasons."
