Kathmandu has announced that directors Christine Cross and John Holland will retire from the company's board in September.
Two new directors, former Nike Western Europe VP and chief executive Brent Scrimshaw and current board member of the Burberry Group, Philip Bowman, will step into the roles prior to the company’s AGM on November 24.
Prior to departing the company in 2012, Scrimshaw had spent 18 years with Nike, leading teams across marketing, commerce and general management.
Kathmandu chairman David Kirk said the international experience of both Scrimshaw and Bowman would be vital in the next stages of the brand's development.
“We are delighted that Philip and Brent have agreed to join the board. They both bring absolutely first class understanding of retail, brand development and international markets. They are a great fit for the next stage of Kathmandu’s journey.”
Holland has been with Kathmandu since the company's Initial Public Offering in 2009, while Christine Cross has served as a director since 2012.
Kirk took the opportunity to thank both directors for their efforts and dedication to the business during this time.
"Christine and John have been excellent directors of Kathmandu. Christine has brought deep retail experience and understanding to the board and her insight and judgement have been extremely valuable for the company.
"John has worked with Kathmandu for many years and his understanding of the business, combined with his legal and commercial judgement will be sorely missed by the Board.
“We thank Christine and John very much for their service and wish them all the best in their other endeavours.”
