Wilko Appoints Andrew Moore As Chief Commercial Officer

Retail Week has reported that Andrew Moore is to join Wilko as chief commercial officer.

His most recent role was that of chief merchandising officer at ASDA which he left in January. He spent ten years with the retailer, during which time he also took the helm of the George at Asda business. Previous roles included director of general merchandise at Marks & Spencer and other senior positions within the retailer. 

He will join Wilko in December, where he will reunite with former ASDA chief financial officer Alex Russo, who joined the business in the same role earlier this year

Lisa Wilkinson, family director of Wilko, told the publication: “Andrew’s breadth of commercial experience strengthens and complements our existing leadership team and we’re looking forward to working with him to further develop our ambition to put great product at the heart of everything we do.”

Moore said: “I’m very excited about joining Wilko. It’s a much-loved brand with a strong family-oriented culture and I look forward to working with the team to take the company to the next stage of its product-led strategy.”
