Homewares retailer Dunelm Group has named Monsoon boss John Browett as its chief executive designate and said he would take over next year.

Mr Browett, who has held senior roles at Dixons, Tesco and Apple, will join the board on July 1 and become chief executive on January 1 after a six-month induction period with incumbent Will Adderley.

Will Adderley, whose father founded Dunelm, was appointed chief executive last year after Nick Wharton's surprise departure.

Leicestershire-based Dunelm said Mr Adderley would revert to his former position as deputy chairman. (Reporting by Aastha Agnihotri in Bengaluru; Editing by Anupama Dwivedi)
