Joules CEO Colin Porter has announced plans to retire after eight years at the helm<\/strong> of the premium fashion and lifestyle brand.<\/p>\n Porter, who was recently appointed chairman of Moss Bros, said he would leave Joules by the end of FY20<\/strong>, though the exact timing is yet to be confirmed and the search for a successor is underway.<\/p>\n Porter, whose role at Moss Bros was not conditional upon him leaving Joules, has overseen a successful period of expansion for the brand and a float on AIM in 2016. Its shares dipped 3.12% to 297p<\/strong> on the back of the announcement this morning.<\/p>\n \"Since joining Joules in 2010 the company has grown significantly. This reflects the strength of the brand and the skill and commitment of the entire team across the business.<\/p>\n \"I can truly say that this is the most special company I have had the pleasure of working at<\/strong> during my career, and that is down to its amazing people and customers. I remain as committed as ever as we continue to focus on delighting our customers and delivering our strategy to further expand the Joules brand,\" Porter said.<\/p>\n Ian Filby, Non-Executive Chairman, commented:\u00a0\"Colin has made a truly outstanding contribution to Joules<\/strong> since joining the business in 2010. During his tenure, Joules has achieved fantastic growth both in the UK and internationally.<\/p>\n \"Joules has a committed, experienced and highly skilled executive management team who, along with Colin's successor, will continue to focus on expanding Joules as a leading lifestyle brand.\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":133851,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,9762,6,10494],"tags":[10905,14253,10612,10426],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
