New CEO for Hallenstein Glassons

(New Zealand) - January 2010

 

Roy Dillon will step down from the post of acting Group CEO at Hallenstein Glasson Holdings at the end of March 2010, having been appointed in October 2008 to steer the company through the recession.

 

Hallenstein Glasson’s chairman of directors, Warren Bell, says it was an “exceptionally turbulent” time in retail during Dillon’s tenure and they were lucky to have him on board. “Mr Dillon has indicated that he wishes to pursue other ventures and we must accept that position.”

Stephen Timms has since been announced as Dillon’s replacement. “Mr Timms appointment is the result of an extensive executive search. We are very pleased to have secured the services of such an experienced retailer. He has a great depth of knowledge regarding the retail sector and comes to us with a very successful track record,” says Bell.

Timms has previously held senior positions in Australia and America, including group chief operating office for Ascendia Retail (parent company of Rebel Sport and Amart Allsports) and managing director of DFS Australia and New Zealand.
