B&M European Value Retail SA has announced the appointment of Tiffany Hall as non-executive chair of the board of directors with effect from the company’s annual general meeting on 23 July 2024. She will succeed Peter Bamford who is to retire from the board after six years at the helm.

From the conclusion of the 2024 AGM, Hall will hand over her existing B&M board roles: she will be succeeded by Oliver Tant as senior independent director, Hounaida Lasry as chair of the remuneration committee and Paula MacKenzie as designated non-executive director for workforce engagement.

Hall board-level experience also includes currently being a non-executive director of Symington Family Estates SA. She was previously the senior independent director of Howdens Joinery Group PLC and a non-executive director of the British Standards Institution and THG PLC.

In her executive career, Hall served as chief executive officer of BUPA Home Healthcare, marketing director at BUPA, and held senior commercial positions at British Airways, including as chair of Airmiles and BA Holidays.

Alex Russo, B&M’s chief executive, said: “On behalf of everyone at B&M, I would like to thank Peter for chairing the Group through some of the most uncertain times in recent history. He has done this with an unerring view of what is right for all of our stakeholders and I wish to thank him on both a personal and professional basis.”

“Tiffany has a proven record of success in her role as senior independent director and demonstrated strong leadership in her role as chair of the remuneration committee over a number of years. We are delighted to welcome her as the new chair of B&M and look forward to working more closely with her to drive the continued success of B&M.”
