Fashion retailer New Look has appointed Mike Iddon as chief financial officer as it aims to continue recent growth.

New Look‘s interim CFO Richard Collyer will stay in the role until Iddon, Tesco‘s group finance director, planning, treasury and tax, joins the retailer.

Anders Kristiansen, CEO of New Look, commented: “We are delighted to appoint Mike as our new CFO. Mike brings with him an excellent track record and also a highly valuable breadth and depth of experience of the retail sector.”

Iddon has held a string of senior finance positions in his 13 years at Tesco and has been UK finance director, finance director in South Korea, group property finance director and non food finance director. He has also worked at home improvements retailer Kingfisher and hospitality firm Whitbread.

Iddon said “I am very excited to be joining New Look at this pivotal point in its story, as it looks to consolidate its impressive achievements in the last two years and focus on its next phase of growth – both in the UK and internationally.”
