Amanda James appointed Finance Director at Next

In May last year, Next had announced that David Keens, its Group Finance Director, would retire shortly after completion of the 2015 annual results, which will be released on March 19. Keen will step down from the Board on April 1 and leave the group in May. Amanda James would replace him on the Board as Finance Director on April 1, 2015.

The company said in a statement that Keen has been with Next for 29 years and as Finance Director for 24 years. He has seen many changes over that time and has been a guardian of the company’s finances.
