THG Plc announced that Damian Sanders has been appointed Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the company, with immediate effect. Damian takes over as CFO from John Gallemore, who has been appointed Chief Operating Officer ("COO"). Damian's appointment follows an extensive search both internationally and domestically.

Damian has an in-depth understanding of THG's businesses, people and culture, having been a member of the Board for the past two years. He joined the Board as an Independent Non-Executive Director ("NED") on 17 November 2020, following which he was appointed Audit Committee Chair and Chair of the Divisional Reorganisation Committee upon its inception on 1 July 2021. Damian's appointment will enable John, who has been covering both the Finance and Operations functions until now, to focus solely on the role of COO and build on the excellent progress he has overseen in THG's global fulfilment footprint.

John continues as an Executive Board Director. Prior to joining THG, Damian was a Senior Audit Partner at Deloitte for 20 years and a member of Deloitte's North West Leadership Team, having also held several other senior management roles. He has vast experience of the retail and technology sectors, working with entrepreneurs and high growth companies.

He also has extensive experience of working with PLC boards, having acted as an Audit Partner and advisor to a significant number of FTSE Boards for well over 20 years, and, more recently, as an Independent NED. Damian is an FCA member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales and brings extensive financial and commercial experience to the Group.
