ON THE BOARD

THE footwear outlet Clarks has a new chief financial officer – after a twoyear search.

Paul Kenyon, fulfilling the same role at Nomad foods, will join Clarks in August.

The married father of two will work alongside new chief executive Mike Shearwood, who was appointed last September, as the retailer seeks to boost sales and profits. Kenyon has held a series of senior financial roles, including at Iglo Foods and at AstraZeneca’s global commercial business.
