Roest will lead the Group’s legal and compliance, and corporate affairs functions, and will
retain the role of Company Secretary.
“I am proud to join the Executive Leadership Team and continue supporting The Warehouse
Group’s evolution,” said Ms. Roest. “With the pace of change in retail and the broader
landscape, there has never been a more important time to build trust, strengthen
governance and foster strong relationships.”
