Kingfisher has appointed Michael Loeve as chief executive of B&Q UK & Ireland.
Loeve will be joining in September from Coop Danmark where he is group retail director. He has 12 years’ experience in senior roles across retail operations, supply chain, IT and strategy.
Kingfisher is bringing in Loeve as part of its drive to create a unified company.
Loeve said: “Home improvement is a great market with huge potential and B&Q has a strong position within it. However, there is more that we can do to maximise its strengths. With a better and more unique offer at good prices where customer needs come first, all backed by the scale of a unified Kingfisher, we will transform and grow B&Q, helping our customers to have better homes and better lives.”
