Easterbrook, who joined the fashion retailer at the beginning of 2017, is leaving to build a non-executive portfolio.

Boden will not appoint a replacement for Easterbrook, whose remit will be shared by executive chair Julian Granville, chief financial officer Paul O’Leary, who will become chief operating officer, and the existing management team.

Founder Johnnie Boden said: “Jill has contributed a huge amount to Boden. She has helped us to grow up. She has been instrumental in building Boden for the future and driving our ambition as an international, digital-first, multi-channel business. Over the last three years, we have invested in new channels, new systems and our people. I am very sad that Jill is leaving us but wish her every success in the future.”
