Next appoints new non-executive director
24 January, 2024 | by Angela Beevers
Next has appointed Venetia Butterfield as an independent non-executive director.
She will take up her post on 2 April 2024.
Butterfield is currently working as managing director of Cornerstone, the largest adult division of Penguin Random House.
Previously, she was publisher of Penguin General and managed the Viking, Penguin Business and Penguin Life imprints.
Next said Butterfield’s experience of leading an independent business within a larger conglomerate will be particularly helpful as it increases the number of businesses it takes on through its Total Platform.
Butterfield will also become a member of the board’s nomination, audit and remuneration committees.
