Marks & Spencer Group PLC said May 21 that it will nominate Katie Bickerstaffe, formerly Dixons Carphone PLC's U.K. and Ireland CEO, and Pip McCrostie to join its board as nonexecutive directors.
The nominations will be considered by shareholders at the U.K. retailer's annual general meeting on July 10.
Bickerstaffe stepped down from U.K. electrical and telecommunications retailer Dixons Carphone in April and was appointed chief executive-designate of a new independent energy supply and services company created by the merger of SSE PLC and Innogy SE, a unit of RWE AG. The formation and listing are expected to take place in the fourth quarter of 2018 or the first quarter of 2019.
McCrostie led the global corporate finance business at Ernst & Young.
