ProCook Group plc has announced that Luke Kingsnorth has informed the board of his intention to step down as a non-executive director of the group and chair of the remuneration committee, to focus on other professional commitments, with effect from June 25.

The board has announced that Meg Lustman will be appointed a non-executive director on the same date and will assume the role of chair of the remuneration committee, and member of the nomination committee and the audit and risk committee.

Meg has over 35 years of retail experience, and was previously CEO of British affordable luxury brand, Hobbs. Prior to this, she held senior positions at many of the UK's leading fashion retailers including John Lewis, Warehouse, and Aurora/Mosaic Fashions.

Meg is currently a non-executive director of N Brown Group plc and chair of its remuneration committee and interim chair of the nominations and governance committee. She also serves as vice chair of court and chair of the remuneration committee at Glasgow Caledonian University and is chair of St Luke's Hospice (Harrow and Brent).

Chair Greg Hodder commented: "We are delighted to welcome Meg to the ProCook board, as she brings a wealth of retail experience, having led the UK and international growth of some of the UK's best-known retailers. This will be invaluable to the business as we continue to build on the growing momentum in our performance."

"In addition, I would like to thank Luke for the consistently high quality of his contribution to the board during his time with us, since our IPO."

Last month, Punchline reported ProCook chief executive officer Lee Tappenden saying he was pleased with the "growing momentum" in the firm's performance  as results for the 12 weeks to March 31 showed total revenue of £13.2m, an increase of 4.8% year-on-year.
