She said: "This mix of ingredients is very rare indeed: a perfectly-matched leadership triad; smart integrated thinking; a bold new creative direction, in-house channel planning and buying and the multi-disciplinary offering of the wider group – all wrapped up in our shared vision of a truly entrepreneurial culture with ambition to burn."
