We look forward to continuing Tom’s legacy and further strengthening New Look’s market position.”

“I’m incredibly proud of all that we have achieved at New Look over the past 50 years. There have been many challenges, but I have been fortunate to work with inspiring and dedicated teams.

With the financial restructuring now complete, I look forward to seeing the Company develop successfully.
