John Lewis of Hungerford plc announced that Charlotte Hill-Baldwin, Sales and Marketing Director, has informed the Board to reduce her current responsibilities and time commitment to the business. She will therefore resign as a director with effect from the end of the current financial year but will remain involved with the business to help further develop its marketing function. The company intends to appoint a new sales director in due course but in the interim period the role will be fulfilled by Jon Rosby, Managing Director.
