Newly appointed director of e-commerce, Deborah Poll is the second member of senior management to quit the garden centre chain in two months.
Ms Poll has been replaced by Lorrie Robertson, who joins the company from Country Homes & Gardens, the gardening chain headed up by Wyevale chief executive Nicholas Marshall.

A Wyevale spokesman said: "By mutual agreement, Deborah Poll has left the business to pursue new business interests and goes with Nicholas [Marshall]'s best wishes."

Ms Poll's exit follows the surprise departure of chairman Jim Hodkinson in September.

She was originally headhunted from Homebase, where she was responsible for brand and customer communications.
