Marks Electrical chief financial officer to step down and join Roadchef
Marks Electrical has announced that its chief financial officer, Josh Egan, is to leave the business to take up the same role at Roadchef.
Egan joined the online electricals retailer in 2021 after five years working with Intertek.
Mark Smithson, chief executive of Marks Electrical, said: “Josh has made a great contribution to the transformation of Marks Electrical, bringing professionalism and rigour to the finance function and through wider support across the business.
“Our financial controls, reporting and financial discipline are in a far stronger place than when he arrived. Under his guidance, we have improved our financial and operational capabilities, creating a strong platform for our future success.
“He has been a great colleague, and we thank him for his efforts at Marks Electrical and wish him well in his new role.”
Marks Electrical has now begun the process to appoint a successor, although Egan will remain with the company through to its preliminary results in June and to facilitate a smooth transition.
Egan said: “It’s been a pleasure to work with Mark and the team, as we transitioned from a successful family-owned business to a publicly traded company.
“I leave Marks Electrical in a good position and have every confidence that the business will continue to flourish, as it executes on its strategy of driving profitable market share gains to become the UK’s leading premium electrical retailer.”
