Rossiter has replaced interim quality director Simon Colbeck, and has held positions at C&A and Shop Direct as technical director.
Following a successful Christmas period, posting double digit sales in the weeks leading up and over the festive season, the retailer has announced the launch of a new loyalty scheme entitled M&P and Me.
Launching across all of its 32 stores, the scheme takes information from expecting couples, and personalises offers relating to their due date and age of their child.
