Aquascutum COO exits role after 3 years

London - Mark Taylor, the Chief Operating Officer at Aquascutum, is set to step down his role this July to pursue another opportunity, according to the luxury retailer.

Aquascutum has begun its search for a successor, but Andrew Chan, Chief Executive at Aquascutum, is to take over Taylor's daily tasks and responsibilities on an interim basis until one is found. Taylor first joined the team at Aquascutum in March 2013, from Juicy Couture, where he worked as finance director.

Prior to serving at Juicy Couture, he held roles at clothing, fabric and homeware brand Cabbages and Roses and high street, fashion retailer Jigsaw. "I would like to personally thank all involved with the brand for their continued support over the past three years," said Taylor on his impending exit to Drapers. "I am proud of the achievements and growth of the brand both in the domestic market and also from an international perspective."

Chan thanked Taylor for his "valuable contribution" to the label and the company's business, wishing him the best with the next chapter of his career.
