Bakery chain Greggs has appointed Lynne Weedall to the board as an independent non-executive director.
Weedall is a former group HR director of Selfridges and Carphone Warehouse, and led transformational projects as part of her senior executive roles at Whitbread and BUPA.
Weedall is currently senior independent non-executive director and remuneration committee chair at Dr. Martens, Stagecoach, and Softcat. She is also a non-executive director and nominations committee chair at Treatt.
Ian Durant, chair of Greggs, commented: “We are delighted that such an experienced non-executive director has accepted our invitation to join the board. Lynne brings with her extensive experience of HR & transformational change, and will add significant value to our board during this transitional phase and beyond”.
In other board moves at Greggs, Roisin Currie has taken over as chief executive from Roger Whiteside following the company’s AGM last week.
