Topps Tiles appoints new chairman
Topps Tiles, the UK tile specialist headquartered in Leicestershire, has revealed that former MP Michael Jack has been appointed as the company's new senior non-executive director.
The announcement follows Barry Bester's retirement as non-executive chairman of the board and as a director of the group.
The changes will be made with immediate effect.
Commenting on his appointment Jack said: "Topps Tiles is a remarkable and robust company. For me to have been chosen by the board to succeed Barry Bester as its chairman is a very great honour. I know we have a strong management team and great staff and I am looking forward to working with them all so that, together, we can continue the development of the range of products and services which our customers want."
Bester added: "I have chosen to resign as chairman of Topps Tiles after a wonderful 26 years with the business, as I have been spending an increasing amount of my time on my other private business interests. I offer my best wishes to my successor Michael Jack."
Jack joined the Topps Tiles board in 1999 and until May 2010 served as a Member of Parliament. He is currently an adviser to HSBC Bank and is a privy councillor and chairman of the Office of Tax Simplification in the Treasury.
