Appointment of Chief Executive
Oasis Stores Plc, the women's fashion retailer, is pleased to announce today
the appointment to the board of Mr Derek Lovelock as Chief Executive.
Mr Lovelock, aged 49, has extensive retail industry experience, most recently
on the board of Sears Plc. As Chief Executive of Sears Clothing Ltd., he had
responsibility for a division with a turnover of approximately #700 million,
encompassing Wallis, Warehouse, Miss Selfridge, Richards, Outfit and Adams
Childrenswear.
Prior to joining Sears in 1992, Mr Lovelock spent eight years with Storehouse
Plc where, having spearheaded the creation of a Fashion Division that included
brands such as Blazer, Jacadi and Anonymous, he was promoted to the board in
1990 and given responsibility for Mothercare.
Following the appointment, Michael Bennett (Chairman), Maurice Bennett (Vice
Chairman) and Vivian Scott (Managing Director) will remain on the board as
executive directors in their current positions.
Announcing the appointment, Oasis Stores' Chairman, Michael Bennett said:
"Derek is a vastly experienced retailer with a particularly strong background
in women's fashion and we are delighted he has decided to join us. I am
convinced he has all the right qualities to take Oasis forward into the next
phase of its growth. Continuity will be assured by the founding directors'
continued involvement in the business."
Derek Lovelock commented:
"At Sears I had responsibility for businesses in direct competition to Oasis,
so I know what a powerful brand they have built. Oasis has a very strong niche
with the potential for further significant growth and, in Coast, I believe we
have acquired another very exciting prospect for the future."
