Dobbies Garden Centre has appointed Andrew Bracey as its new chairman.
Bracey is a founding partner of Midlothian Capital Partners which together with Hattington Capital recently acquired Dobbies from Tesco for £218 million.
Chief executive of Dobbies, John Cleland, said: “Andrew has many years of experience in retail and has a genuine passion for Dobbies, both of which will be of huge benefit to the business as we create a stronger, market leading company. I look forward to working with him again, to grow the business and deliver a success story.”
Bracey has spent the majority of his career working in the retail industry, most recently as chief financial officer at Ocado. As a senior financier, he has also led a number of momentous transactions in the retail sector.
