Di Humphries (pictured above), Pumpkin Patch CEO is to leave the troubled children’s clothing retailer in November following the board’s decision to knuckle down on lifting business performance rather than accepting substandard purchase offers.
Since taking over from former CEO Neil Cowie in August 2013, Humphries has seen a dramatically changing retail environment in which the retailer has struggled to remain relevant.
Chairman Peter Schuyt acknowledged the progress she has achieved, and said in a statement that Humphries joined a company that needed, and still needs major changes across all parts of the business.
Pumpkin Patch board is currently seeking a new CEO.
