Gary Brown is leaving Debenhams, after spending over 13 years at the retailer.

He started off as Finance Analyst and was most recently Head of Finance - E-commerce, Supply Chain and Technology. Prior to Debenhams, Brown was a finance analyst at Musgrave. He will now take on a role at SIG.

In a LinkedIn post, he said: “Thanks to all those I've worked for, worked with and worked for me. It's been a blast!”

Store closures

Debenhams is in the midst of a rescue plan which includes store closures and job losses. The retailer intends to shutter 50 of its worst performing stores.

It was taken over by a group of financial investors last year and is using a CVA to cull unprofitable sites and cut the rent on many of its remaining 163 stores.
