Tillery commented: "I'm super excited about re-joining a business I've seen grow and flourish in recent years, and I look forward to widening our sourcing base to be as sustainable as possible for the future.
"The talented team designs and develops amazing product offerings, and it’s my job to ensure we deliver on all our promises as a brand should."
