Topps Tiles has announced Caroline Browne will join the business as its new chief financial officer.
The tiling and flooring retailer has announced that Browne will take over the role from Stephen Hopson in spring 2026.
Browne is set to join from luxury retailer Watches of Switzerland, where she is currently the group finance and investor relations director, leading the team that completed the retailer’s float on the London Stock Exchange in 2019.
Prior to her role at Watches of Switzerland, Browne was the group financial controller at Next and held several senior finance positions at Boots. Browne’s career began at Baker Tilly before moving into audit at EY.
To cover the role in the interim, Topps has appointed Rob Swales, former group finance director at Pepco.
Topps Tiles chair of the board Paul Forman said: “We are delighted to welcome Caroline as chief financial officer. She has significant financial and investor relations experience in high-quality retail organisations and a consistent track record of delivering strong results and I look forward to working with her as we build upon our growth ambitions and create continued long-term value for our customers, colleagues, and shareholders.”
Topps CEO designate Alex Jensen said: “I’m very much looking forward to Caroline joining the business. Her extensive retail experience and proven ability in commercial finance, risk management, governance and investor relations will be invaluable as we continue to execute our growth strategy and strengthen our market position.”
