“She not only brings substantial experience of the UK and international clothing market, but understands our customers,” says Lord Rose, chairman of Fat Face. “Liz also joins at a positive time for the Fat Face brand as trading is resilient and we are seeing the benefit of key infrastructure investment.”
The retailer recently hailed a strong year after booking higher sales and earnings, boosted by investment in areas including in e-commerce.
The appointment is understood to have led to the promotion of Hash Ladha as Oasis and Warehouse CEO. Ladha is a former ASOS and New Look director who has served as chief operating officer of both Oasis and Warehouse since 2015.
