Department store retailer Fenwick has announced that Nigel Blow has been appointed as its new Chief Executive.
Blow, who currently holds the position of CEO at department store Morleys, will be joining Fenwick in October.
Current Fenwick CEO John Edgar has left the business after 4.5 years at the helm.
Sian Westerman, Fenwick Chair, said: “John Edgar is stepping down as CEO of Fenwick as part of a reorganisation of our executive leadership team and wider changes to the management structure of the company.
“Over the past 4.5 years, John has successfully steered the business through the Covid-19 pandemic, launched our online proposition, enhanced and expanded our restaurant business, focused on the development of key stores, including a Masterplan project in Newcastle and significant improvements to the Kingston store. We appreciate John’s contribution to the business and wish him every success for the future.”
“We are excited for Nigel to join us, bringing with him a wealth of retail experience – including his current role as CEO of Morleys, and we know he is ready to help lead Fenwick into the next stage of its growth.”
