Murray also started Buddi, a remote health and location monitoring technology business in 2005. Murray, 47, currently serves as an Executive Committee/PLC Director’s Advisor to Travis Perkins.
“I am delighted to welcome Sara to the Company,” said Non-Executive Chairman Peter Williams. “Her experience in founding and developing successful technology businesses will be a great asset to the board. Sara’s entrepreneurial spirit perfectly reflects Boohoo’s culture and growth ambitions and we very much look forward to working with her.”
