Dixons Carphone plc ('Company' or 'Dixons Carphone') announces
the appointment of Bruce Marsh as Group Chief Financial Officer
with effect from 12 July 2021.
Bruce Marsh has been Finance Director, UK and Ireland, at Tesco

"I am delighted to welcome Bruce back home to Dixons Carphone.
He brings a strong track record over many years in retail, and in
the successful delivery of large complex business transformations
in rapidly changing environments. He has extensive experience
leading high-quality Finance teams, maintaining robust financial
controls and improving planning and performance. Bruce has played a
pivotal role in Tesco's revitalisation. I look forward to working
with him as we continue Dixons Carphone's transformation to a world
class business.
Jonny has been an outstanding leader at Dixons Carphone. He's
made a big contribution to the great strides we've made in our
transformation, particularly in UK Mobile, to a stronger balance
sheet, and to a sharper focus on cash and cost control. This will
serve the Group well as we continue to build on these achievements.
On behalf of all my colleagues, I would like to thank Jonny for his
role in the delivery of our strategy and wish him every future
success as he moves on to new opportunities."
Bruce Marsh, said:
"Having spent the early part of my career in Dixons Retail, it
is wonderful to be returning to a great business. I am excited to
be joining the Group as it continues its ambitious transformation
to a world class business helping everyone enjoy amazing
technology. I am hugely inspired both by the early results and the
significant potential ahead of us."
Jonny Mason, Group Chief Financial Officer, said:
"It has been a privilege to work at Dixons Carphone. I have
particularly enjoyed working with a great team. I am pleased with
the progress the business has made in its transformation which has
seen the Company grow its market leading position and develop its
omnichannel capability. Although my departure is still some way
off, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my
colleagues and wish Dixons Carphone every success for the
future."
