He was also a non-executive director of Boohoo.com from 2019 to earlier in 2023. Brian is currently an independent Non-Executive Director at Pendragon plc and Mothercare plc (where he is also chair of the Audit and Risk Committee). Accordingly, the Board believes that Brian's broad sector experience, financial and city background make him a valuable addition to the Company's Board.
