The tile retailer announced today that marketing director Nick Ounstead, who has been with Topps Tiles for 15 years, will retire form the board with immediate effect.
Group chairman Michael Jack said: "Nick made a very significant contribution to Topps during the last fifteen years, being part of the management team that floated the business in 1997 and then leading the business as chief executive between 2002 and 2007.

"All of us will miss his wise counsel around the board room table and throughout the business. On behalf of everyone at Topps, I would like to send Nick our very best wishes for his future."

Topps Tiles plc said it is expecting to appoint a senior executive with responsibility for its marketing function "in due course."
