(Alliance News) - Science in Sport PLC on Friday named Unbound Group PLC's Daniel Lampard as its new chief financial officer.
In June, the Nelson, Lancashire-based sports nutrition company said that CFO James Simpson will step down in September, after three years in post.
On Friday, Science in Sport confirmed that Simpson has now left and Greg Edwards has been appointed as interim CFO, until Lampard joins on October 19.
Lampard is currently CFO of Unbound Group PLC. Unbound is a London-based parent company for a group selling a range of brands focused on the 55 plus demographic.
Lampard was appointed as Unbound's CFO ahead of the company's admission to London's AIM, back in January of this year.
Earlier this month, Unbound said that Lampard will step down on October 1. It also appointed Non-Executive Director Gavin Manson as his replacement.
Prior to Unbound, Lampard was CFO of Direct to Consumer at Glanbia Performance Nutrition Ltd, an online sports nutrition business that is part of Kilkenny, Ireland-based Glanbia PLC. Lampard also has been a director of finance at Bolton, England-based online electrics retailer AO World PLC.
Chief Executive Stephon Moon said: "I am delighted to welcome a CFO of Dan's calibre to the group. His sector-specific experience in performance nutrition and deep insight of online businesses will substantially strengthen the executive management as we move into our next growth phase."
Science in Sport shares were untraded at 27.75 pence each in London on Friday morning.
