Wilko has made key changes to its management team as it focuses on turning the business around. Its group finance director Dave Murphy has been promoted to the role of chief financial officer replacing Karen Mackay who departs in March. Meanwhile its retail director Amanda Jones becomes chief operating officer taking responsibility for stores, central operations and logistics.
Deborah Rabey is to take up the interim role of chief customer officer and will lead the retailer’s commercial, digital and marketing teams, whilst Anne-Marie Haydock has been promoted to HR director and will replace Kate Price who leaves in April.
CEO Mark Jackson commented: “To deliver our strategic priorities we must remain focused, and our leadership structure needs to be fully aligned to achieve this. Having now reviewed the current structure, we need to remove both the duplication of functions and operating costs. As part of this review, we’ve had to take some necessary and difficult decisions as we create a new operating structure that helps stabilise the business, from which we can then drive the business forward.”
