With a strong and aligned management team, a leadership position in the retail sector and clear growth opportunities ahead, I’m looking forward to leading a Board focused on supporting management in the execution of the Company’s growth strategies.”

[I do not hold ADH shares, however I hold IFT (Infratil Ltd) shares, and IFT is managed by HRL Morrison & Co, and owns half of Vodafone NZ, plus 48% of CDC, so Brett Chenoweth is of interest to me. He seems well credentialled and experienced. Adairs have a great online business as well as their bricks-and-mortar store network, so they've done well through the lockdowns and should also do well coming out the other side.]
