The Very Group Appoints Interim CFO

The Very Group, which operates digital retailers Very and Littlewoods, has today announced that after almost six years within the business, Ben Fletcher is stepping down as chief finance and transformation officer to pursue his long-standing interest in politics. 

Robbie Feather, group CEO at The Very Group, commented: “I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ben for everything he has contributed to the business and wish him the best of luck for the future. From navigating the pandemic and Brexit, to being a passionate advocate of our charity partnerships with Coram Beanstalk and the National Literacy Trust, Ben has played an integral role in supporting us in our mission to help families get more out of life.”

Current group finance director Ed Fry will assume the role of interim group chief financial officer following Ben’s departure from the business in September. A search for a permanent replacement, which will consider both internal and external candidates, is currently underway and an announcement will be made in due course.
