Ian Dyson, incoming Chair of the Board
"Currys is a clear market leader with trusted brands in every
market in which it operates. It has a leading presence in exciting
product categories which are increasingly vital to consumers' daily
lives, and the success with which it navigated the Covid-19
pandemic is testament to the quality and commitment of its
thousands of colleagues. I am looking forward to working alongside
Alex and the team on the next leg of Currys' exciting journey."
Ian Livingston, outgoing Chair of the Board
"I will be leaving Currys with sadness as it is a business very
close to my heart but I am delighted to be succeeded by someone of
the calibre and experience of Ian Dyson. My time at Currys has been
hugely enjoyable. Today's business is in really good shape; it has
a great management team, strategic clarity, strong finances and a
very exciting future ahead of it. I thank the Board and Alex and
his team for being great colleagues and wish them every success in
the future."
Alex Baldock, Group Chief Executive
"I am very grateful for the guidance, challenge and support that
Ian Livingston has given to Currys, and the role he has played in
transforming it into the leading omnichannel retailer of technology
products and services it is today. As we continue with our exciting
transformation, I am delighted that in Ian Dyson we have found a
new Chair who will help us continue on our path towards a world
