BARNSLEY-BASED online retail giant ASOS has appointed a new chairman.
Adam Crozier, the former chief executive of ITV, the Football Association and Royal Mail, will take over from Brian McBride in November.
ASOS’s warehouse, on Park Spring Road, Grimethorpe, employs around 4,000 people and is the distribution hub for orders which come from customers around the world.
The 54-year-old said: “The ASOS story is truly impressive and I am tremendously excited to become part of it. I’m greatly looking forward to working with the team that is building a global powerhouse in online fashion.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
