Dumke is leaving the group for what the group said is a “well-deserved retirement” and will be missed for his “professional acumen and his personal touch”.

During his time at the group since 1984, he’s been an Otto buyer and MD of Eddie Bauer. He also left the group to work at Lidl in 2007 but returned in 2011 to take up his current role.
