Naked Wines appoints former CEO as adviser
Naked Wines has appointed its former chief executive Rowan Gormley as an adviser to the board.
The move comes as the company finalises revised operational and financial plans for the business which will be announced in the week commencing 17 October.
Gormley owns 2.9% of the group’s issued share capital and will be subject to Naked’s share dealing policy.
His position will be unpaid and is expected to last for a period of two to three months. Naked said Gormley will represent the views of shareholders and advise the board accordingly.
Darryl Rawlings, Naked Wines chairman, said: “We wanted shareholder involvement in our ongoing operational and financial planning process. I welcome Rowan providing his insight to us because his operational familiarity with the business and his viewpoint as a shareholder will provide a unique and valuable perspective to the Board as we position Naked for long-term sustainable growth.”
