N Brown strengthens senior retail team with a series of appointments

N Brown Group plc, the digital fashion and homeware retailer, has continued to strengthen its retail and product team through a series of recent senior hires and appointments.

The news follows the appointment of Sarah Welsh as CEO of Retail in March, and the groups refreshed strategy announced in June, which includes a focus on delivering better and more relevant product through its distinct set of brands.

Shailina Parti has joined the Group as the Group Buying Director, having previously spent over five years as the Group Buying and Merchandising Director for Jigsaw.

Shailina has been joined by Neil Hendy as Group Design Director, who joins from senior design roles at Coast and Marks & Spencer.

Angela Gaskell has been appointed to the new role of Group Sourcing, Sustainability, Quality and Fit Director.

These appointments strengthen the Group’s strategic drive to create unique product propositions for a simplified brand portfolio: Simply Be, Ambrose Wilson, JD Williams, Jacamo and the newly formed Home Essentials.

Sarah Welsh, CEO of Retail, said: “I am excited to welcome both Shailina and Neil to N Brown. Together, they bring a wealth of experience from across the industry and share our aim of pushing the retail business further ahead on its journey to create strong and unique brands.
