MONEYSUPERMARKET.COM has announced the appointment of a new chief executive, subject to regulatory approval.
The company, headquartered at Ewloe near Chester, wants Mark Lewis to succeed Peter Plumb, who announced in August his intention to step down as CEO before the group’s annual meeting in May 2017.
Lewis will take over from Plumb on or before May 4 2017 and will join the board of the group as an executive director. A further announcement on the exact timing will be made in due course.
Lewis is currently retail director of John Lewis. He joined John Lewis in early 2013 as online director, and in 2015 was made responsible for running both shop and online operations at the retailer.
Prior to that he was CEO of Collect+, and before that he was UK managing director and European director of Marketplaces of eBay.
