Chrissie Rucker, founder & owner of The White Company said: “It has been such a pleasure to work with Mary for the last seven years. I can’t thank her enough for her very significant contribution to The White Company.
“She has been instrumental in growing the business, providing transformational leadership and developing our culture and operational excellence. She led us successfully through the uncertainty of the pandemic and has always put the customer and our people at the heart of everything we do.”
Successor Paula Nickolds will join The White Company as CEO in April from Sainsbury’s, where she has transformed its TU clothing and general merchandise proposition at Argos and Habitat.
