Arcadia’s chief operating officer David Shepherd has retired after working for 25 years with the group.
Shepherd was appointed to his last position in 2012 and as an Arcadia board member was responsible for the supply chain, sourcing and international operations.

According to Drapers, it is understood that Arcadia will not seek a replacement for his role.
