UK fashion retailer SuperGroup Plc, has permanently appointed Nick Wharton as Chief Financial Officer.

Wharton was hired as interim CFO back in February after Shaun Wills stepped down from the role when he was made bankrupt. His bankruptcy has since been annulled by the courts.

Chartered accountant Wharton was previously CEO of Dunelm Group plc and spent eight years before that as CFO of Halfords Group Plc, where he led the separation process from its former owner, The Boots Company, in preparation for the IPO of Halfords in 2004.

Previously, Wharton worked in senior finance positions at Boots Opticians, Boots Healthcare International, Do-it-All Limited and Cadbury Schweppes.

Peter Bamford, Chairman, said:

"I am delighted to announce Nick's appointment. During his time in the interim role he has had a highly positive impact. His deep financial management skills and broad retail and business experience will be great assets to SuperGroup."
