Bensons for Beds has appointed Paul Owen as its new chief retail officer.
Owen joins from kitchens retailer Magnet, where he spent three years on the board as director of store operations.
Owen also spent four years as retail director at Dreams and has held leadership roles at Fraser Hart, Carphone Warehouse and B&Q.
Replacing Frankie Haynes, who left earlier in the year, Owen will take up the new role in early July.
Bensons chief executive Nick Collard said: “Paul is a retailing expert who brings over 30 years’ experience, but specifically has a strong history within the high-ticket sector and retail organisations of scale where colleagues are vital to the customer journey.
“Like us, he understands the pivotal role the expertise of our colleagues plays in helping customers find the right sleep solution for them.
“I’m looking forward to that colleague focus helping us further unlock the power of our own people. Having sat on the operating boards of both Dreams and most recently Magnet, Paul’s wealth of experience will help us further develop our wider customer and colleague proposition as we continue to grow.”
