Space NK announces new CEO

Specialist beauty retailer, Space NK, has announced a brand new CEO – Andy Lightfoot – who joined the brand as digital director in 2016.

According to Space NK, Lightfoot has delivered substantial growth since joining the business, so this was a natural move for everyone.

Lightfoot will be reporting to former CEO, Chris Garek, in his new role as executive chairman.

“Andy’s drive and determination, coupled with his leadership skills in his new role of CEO, will enable Space NK UK and US to demonstrate itself as a leading omnichannel and customer centric retailer,” Garek said.

Currently, Space NK has 69 stores across the UK and Ireland, as well as 41 locations in the US, including free-standing stores and boutiques in Nordstrom and Bloomingdale’s.
