Mon, 26th Feb 2024 08:36

Frasers Group PLC - Shirebrook, England-based owner of House of Fraser, Sports Direct and Flannels retail chains - Hires Helen Wright, the chief executive officer of luxury footwear brand Sergio Rossi Spa, as a non-executive director, effective from Monday. Wright, who previously worked at Ralph Lauren, joined Milan-based Sergio Rossi as CEO in November.

Joining the board immediately as executive directors are Frasers Chief Operating Officer David Al-Mudallal and Ger Wright, managing director of Sports.

"Much has changed at Frasers over recent years and today is another significant milestone in our transformation as we welcome new high-calibre individuals to the board," says Chair David Daly.
