Boardroom shake-up at Pretty Little Thing following departure of founder and chief exec Umar Kamani
Pretty Little Thing (PLT) has shaken up its top team after the departure of founder and chief executive Umar Kamani.
The fast-fashion retailer, which is owned by Boohoo, said Tom Binns had been promoted to chief operating officer and Nicki Capstick had been appointed as chief marketing officer.
The pair will share the responsibilities of chief executive.
Kamani set up PLT as a market stall in Manchester in 2012 but left in April this year.
At the time, he posted on Instagram that he was ‘forever grateful’ for the ‘12 amazing years that changed my life’.
