Frasers chief operating officer David Al-Mudallal and managing director for sport Ger Wright will also join the board as executive directors ”following their significant contribution to Frasers Group in their existing roles”.
These appointments will come into effect from February 26, 2024.
The retailer also announced the intended appointment of Sir Jon Thompson, former chief executive of the Financial Reporting Council, as a non-executive director who will join the group later in the year.
