New Look has re-shuffled its management team, promoting Phil Wrigley to executive chairman and Carl McPhail to chief executive.

As part of the restructure, Paul Marchant will take on the role of chief operating officer and Alistair Miller will become chief financial officer.

Wrigley said: “This move, along with other changes announced today, leaves the business with the right management structure to tackle its next phase of growth, in particular its exciting international expansion.”

McPhail said his challenge will be to build on its “position of strength within the UK market,” as well as the roll out of its international presence.

Three new executives have also been added to the board, Will Kernan as managing director for the UK and Eire, Michael Lemner as managing director for international and Linda Owen as group hr director.
