Asos Surprises With The Appointment Of Another Former Marks & Spencer Director

Online fashion site Asos has appointed another former Marks & Spencer director just three weeks after the sudden departure of product director Kate Bostock.

Ian Dyson, group finance director at M&S until August 2010 and currently chief executive at pub group Punch, has been drafted in as senior non-executive from October this year, Asos said this morning.

However, the appointment is likely to raise eyebrows after the announcement, just 22 days ago, of Bostock's departure only six months after she arrived. Asos chief executive explained at the time that the two firms had 'different cultures'.

Asos chairman Brian McBride said: 'Ian has a wealth of experience of being at the forefront of large UK listed consumer-led businesses and has strong understanding of both the retail industry and of technology.'
