Henri Lloyd is currently undergoing significant changes as CEO Magnus Liljeblad has announced his decision to step down from his position. This move has prompted the company to kickstart the search for a new chief executive officer and a creative director to join their team. Henri Lloyd is actively seeking passionate and talented individuals from across the globe to fill these roles, emphasizing that age or experience are not barriers to application. The company is on the lookout for candidates who are dedicated to building the brand and fostering a strong, loyal customer base.
In the interim period until a permanent CEO is appointed, board member Jonas Andersson will take on the responsibilities of the role. Hans Eckerström, the chairman and controlling shareholder, has stressed the importance of bringing in dynamic leaders who are adaptable to working in a digital-first and agile environment. The goal is to create something truly exceptional with a brand as esteemed as Henri Lloyd.
Over the recent period, Henri Lloyd has been making strides in terms of expansion and repositioning. The brand has been receiving favorable feedback on its latest collections for the spring/summer 2020 season post-relaunch. Eckerström commended Liljeblad for his efforts in repositioning the brand, while also underlining the necessity of fresh leadership to steer the brand into its next chapter.
Looking ahead, Eckerström has emphasized the significance of fostering strong customer relationships and remaining receptive to feedback. He expressed pride in achievements such as the successful DYO (Design Your Own) initiative and the involvement of Sir Ben Ainslie as an investor and director. Even though challenges have been faced, the brand has seen notable success with its functional performance range, recording robust sales figures both online and with clientele.
As Henri Lloyd maps out its path for the future, the company is keen on building upon its achievements to meet customer demands and realize its vision for the brand. The company is committed to continuing its strategy of blending performance with functional fashion in a contemporary manner, alongside actively soliciting customer feedback to drive continuous improvement and innovation.
