His rich, cross-sector experience, which includes time with Marshalls earlier in his career, will be an asset to the Board and help us capitalise on future growth opportunities and deliver our strategic objectives. In Justin, we're confident we've found an outstanding successor to Jack Clarke, who made a significant contribution to the sustained growth of Marshalls during his time with us."
