The former long-serving boss of retail giant JD Sports has been named as the first non-executive chairman of The Fragrance Shop.
Peter Cowgill, who quit his role as executive chairman at the Bury-headquartered group suddenly in May, has taken up his new job with immediate effect.
At the time, his departure from JD Sports was described "as a consequence of an ongoing review of its internal governance and controls" and a decision to "accelerate the separation" of the roles of chair and chief executive.
