Mothercare boss Gordon to meet with customers

Mothercare chief executive Ben Gordon will celebrate his one-year anniversary at the helm by meeting customers in as many stores as possible in the run-up to Christmas.

Gordon, who was appointed exactly a year ago last Tuesday, offered to take part in the retailer's back to the floor initiative, which occurs every year.

But it was decided it would be best if he took a different tack. 'Having just announced some improved figures, it would be good to talk to as many customers as possible and find out how the stores are doing,' said a spokeswoman.
