Super Retail Group names new chair
Super Retail Group, parent company of Rebel, BCF, and Supercheap Auto, has named former Heinz Australia chief Judith Swales as its new chair.
Swales will replace outgoing chair Sally Pitkin, who leaves in October. Swales has been a non-executive director on Super Retail’s board for three years. Non-executive director Howard Mowlem will also retire from the board at the end of the month.
“With her background in high-performing retail businesses and expertise in digital transformation, Judith emerged as the standout candidate for the role of chair and to lead Super Retail Group through its next phase of growth,” Pitkin said.
Super Retail Group is currently being sued by at least four staffers, alleging governance failures.
According to an ASX notice, Super Retail Group expect the suit to be in the range of $30 million and $50 million, with the charges including the non-disclosure of a secret romance between CEO Anthony Heraghty and his former head of HR, Jane Kelly.
