Dunelm appoints Compass Group's Laura Carr as CFO
Homeware retailer Dunelm has appointed Laura Carr - currently group financial controller of Compass Group - as its new chief financial officer.
Carr will be succeeding Keith Down, who is stepping down to take up a role closer to his family home, as announced in February. Prior to the current role at Compass, Carr, who will join the group in autumn, was CFO of Canadian book, gift and toy retailer Indigo Books & Music, from 2014 to 2017.
She also held a number of senior finance roles with Japan Tobacco International between 2004 and 2013.
David Stead, Dunelm's former CFO, has joined the group as interim CFO to help smooth the transition, which has allowed Down to step down from the board slightly earlier than expected, on 24 May.
Chairman Andy Harrison said: "We are looking forward to Laura joining the Dunelm team to work with Nick Wilkinson, our new CEO. Laura brings a breadth of business and finance experience, which will really help us to achieve our ambitious business plans to become the leading multi-channel retailer in our space."
