(Alliance News) - Card Factory PLC on Monday announced the appointment of Darcy Willson-Rymer - former chief executive officer of rival gift retailer Clintons - as CEO, starting in March.
Shares in the Wakefield-based card and gift retailer were 13% lower at 38.55 pence on Monday in London. From Sunday, areas in the South East currently in Tier 3 were moved into a new Tier 4, closing all non-essential retail shops, after scientists said a new coronavirus variant is spreading more rapidly.
Once Willson-Rymer starts on March 8, Executive Chair Paul Moody will step down from the role, and revert back to being a non-executive chair.
