Furniture retailer DFS has appointed an interim chief financial officer after it said sales were in growth in the current financial year.
DFS has appointed Marie Wall as its interim chief financial officer starting December 2024 and will report to chief executive Tim Stacey. Marie has previously held senior finance roles at Imperial Brands, Wolseley and Dixons Carphone.
This comes after the brand announced that current DFS CFO, John Fallon will be stepping down from the board in November and leave the business in Janaury.
In a brief trading update accompanied with the announcement, DFS said sales has improved in the first quarter of the current year, with the same trend seen over the first 20 weeks of the period. It said this was driven by a growth in order intake.
Steve Johnson, chairman, said, “Marie’s experience and skills make her ideally suited to take on the role of Interim CFO, I am delighted Marie has agreed to join DFS at this key moment for the Group.”
Stacey, said “I am very pleased to welcome Marie to our Group. She is a strong addition to our leadership team bringing with her a wealth of financial leadership experience, as we pursue our growth strategy.”
