The Warehouse Group has appointed a new CEO after a lengthy search to fill the role.

Mark Stirton, who joined the company in April last year, will head the group from August 1.

Chair Dame Joan Withers says Stirton has basically completed a one-year job interview - and has continued to impress the board.

"Rather than just anoint someone internally, we went through that thorough process so that we could be absolutely confident we got the best possible person for the job."
