Sosandar appoints new Chief Financial Officer

Sosandar, the online women's fashion brand, has announced the appointment of Steve Dilks to the Company's Board as Chief Financial Officer, with immediate effect.

He joined Sosandar last September as Finance Director, having previously spent 11 years at outdoor apparel business Regatta, latterly in the role of Finance Director.

Following Dilks' appointment to the Board, Mark Collingbourne, Group Finance Director, will transition to the position of Non-Executive Director.

Bill Murray, Non-Executive Chairman at Sosander, said: "I am very pleased to welcome Steve to the Board of Sosandar. He hit the ground running as soon as he joined last year and, since then, his experience and expertise have added significant value to the business. As Finance Director and now as CFO, Steve provides great confidence to the Board, offers substantial commercial contributions and is proving to be a great asset to the business.

"I would also like to thank Mark, who has been Group Financial Director of the Company since its IPO in 2017, on behalf of the founders and the rest of the Board for his enormous contribution over the last three and a half years."

Last month, the fashion brand reported a 63% leap in sales in Q4, reaching £3.94 million. Customer activity had stepped up each month during the final quarter with record revenue delivered in the month of March, up 66% compared to January and 163% up on the lockdown-impacted prior year.

As well as selling via its own online channel, Sosandar is sold through Next and John Lewis and recently joined the Marks & Spencer third-party brand line-up.
