I have enjoyed working with the talented team and wish Nick and the team the best for continued success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beighton added: \u201cI love fashion and e-commerce and have long been an admirer of Matchesfashion. It is a pioneer in the sector and has redefined the face of luxury shopping with its unique fashion perspective and distinct, curated edit. Starting from a single store in London 35 years ago it has become the go-to place for luxury fashion online, yet it still has huge potential. Using technology, product, logistics and culture, <strong>I have helped disrupt existing consumer patterns and galvanise change in organisations and I hope to bring these skills to my new role.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Matchesfashion is owned by investor Apax and was initially founded by Tom and Ruth Chapman as a single store in Wimbledon more than 30 years ago. Today it is a global luxury fashion force centred on its digital presence with an event space and broadcasting hub at 5 Carlos Place in Mayfair, and strategically located stores in London. Its sales to January 2021 were \u00a3392m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":212153,"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":[6,20822,10494],"tags":[15841,7329,10649,9817],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Matchesfashion appoints former ASOS chief Nick Beighton as CEO - TheIndustry.fashion<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"MATCHESFASHION, the luxury online fashion destination, has named former ASOS CEO Nick Beighton has its new CEO.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/matchesfashion-appoints-former-asos-chief-nick-beighton-as-ceo\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Matchesfashion appoints former ASOS chief Nick Beighton as CEO - TheIndustry.fashion\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"MATCHESFASHION, the luxury online fashion destination, has named former ASOS CEO Nick Beighton has its new CEO.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/matchesfashion-appoints-former-asos-chief-nick-beighton-as-ceo\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TheIndustry.fashion\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/theindustryfashion\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-07-12T11:00:50+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-07-13T09:00:49+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/NICKB.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1920\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1080\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Lauretta Roberts\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@theindustryfash\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@theindustryfash\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Lauretta Roberts\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/matchesfashion-appoints-former-asos-chief-nick-beighton-as-ceo\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/matchesfashion-appoints-former-asos-chief-nick-beighton-as-ceo\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Lauretta Roberts\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/#\/schema\/person\/85b04a16eba8c6cd7a9534c5a4262b89\"},\"headline\":\"Matchesfashion appoints former ASOS chief Nick Beighton as CEO\",\"datePublished\":\"2022-07-12T11:00:50+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-07-13T09:00:49+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/matchesfashion-appoints-former-asos-chief-nick-beighton-as-ceo\/\"},\"wordCount\":401,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/#organization\"},\"keywords\":[\"appointment\",\"ASOS\",\"Matchesfashion\",\"Nick Beighton\"],\"articleSection\":[\"News &amp;
