"I am delighted to be appointed CEO at such a pivotal moment in New Look's development. Since joining the business earlier this year, we have focused on strengthening our operational foundations. We have already taken decisive steps to broaden the appeal of our product, enhance the customer journey and improve our lead times. Following the successful financial restructuring, we have also been able to strengthen our leadership and begin to invest prudently in the business again. I look forward to continue working with McGeorge and the board, and leading the wider team of 15000 colleagues, as we continue to build on New Look's distinctive offer and strong customer heritage," Oddy said.
