White Stuff CEO Jenkins exits months after TFG takes over
Jo Jenkins is to step down from the CEO's chair at White Stuff 'to pursue new opportunities' following last October's acquisition of the company by TFG London. She joined the business seven years ago after having been director of clothing and beauty at M&S. Before that she was womenswear product director of Next and in her White Stuff role has overseen a series of increasingly strong results for the label. The owner of the Hobbs, Whistles and Phase Eight brands said that the retailers' existing leadership team will 'continue to drive the brand's ambitious growth strategy'. A replacement for Jenkins is being sought. The success of her tenure can be seen from the increasingly impressive results at the business, as well as new stores and launches. Its most recent trading statement saw White Stuff enjoying total sales up 21.8% in the 10 weeks to 4 January and it also saw record customer growth in the period. Jenkins said of her latest move: 'With the acquisition by TFG complete and this unique brand poised for its next phase of growth, now is the right time for me to step aside. I am confident that White Stuff will continue to thrive, supported by fantastic and motivated teams, and under TFG's experienced stewardship.'
