Dr Martens PLC (LSE:DOCS), the iconic shoe manufacturer, confirmed its newly appointed chief finance officer will join the company two weeks earlier than forecast.
Giles Wilson was initially set to take up his role on 27 May, but now starts on Monday, May 13.
Wilson was announced as a replacement for departing CFO Jon Mortimore, who had announced his retirement in April 2023.
Appointed back in November, Wilson was then working for Glenfiddich whisky and Hendrick's gin maker William Grant & Sons.
Wilson also has experience leading a listed company, having been CFO at logistics company John Menzies from 2016 and then taking the chief executive role between 2019 and 2020.
Dr Martens has struggled with weakened demand in recent times.
In April, the shoemaker said boss Kenny Wilson would be leaving the business three years after seeing the British footwear brand go public.
Current chief brand officer Ije Nwokorie will take over the top spot when Wilson leaves, which will be before the end of the current financial year.
