Living room and upholstered furniture retailer DFS has confirmed that its new CFO has officially joined its Board.

DFS previously announced back in November last year the appointment of Marie Wall as Interim Chief Financial Officer, replacing the outgoing John Fallon, who has now left the company.

Marie joined DFS from 2 December 2024 and has joined the Board as an executive director with effect from 20 January 2025.

Marie has previously held senior finance roles at Imperial Brands, Wolseley and Dixons Carphone.

Steve Johnson, Chairman, previously said: “Marie’s experience and skills make her ideally suited to take on the role of Interim CFO, I am delighted Marie has agreed to join DFS at this key moment for the Group.”

Tim Stacey, CEO, added: “I am very pleased to welcome Marie to our Group. She is a strong addition to our leadership team bringing with her a wealth of financial leadership experience, as we pursue our growth strategy.”
