15 August, 2019 | by Angela Beevers
Homebase has appointed Ian Penney as director of its Bathstore business.
The move follows Homebase’s acquisition of Bathstore after it entered administration this summer.
Reporting to Homebase chief executive Damian McGloughlin, Penney will oversee all aspects of Bathstore including its 44 stores, online business and the introduction of concessions into Homebase stores.
He was previously group category director for kitchens at Kingfisher. Prior roles also include category director for kitchens, bathrooms and tiling at B&Q.
McGloughlin said: “Ian’s leadership qualities and experience delivering a customer-first approach will be instrumental to the business as we look to strengthen our showroom offer to customers.”
