Car dealer Lookers has announced that a new director and interim chief financial officer has joined the company in the latest high-profile appointment.
The Greater Manchester-based firm has unveiled Anna Bielby with effect from January 5.
The Altrincham firm said Ms Bielby has trained as a chartered accountant with PwC, where she worked for 14 years specialising in retail, and also as audit director.
In an announcement to the markets on Wednesday, Lookers said she brings PLC experience - having worked at KCOM Group for five years in a number of senior financial roles, latterly as CFO.
Ms Bielby fills in the role vacated by Mark Raban, who was promoted to CEO in February.
It's the latest announcement from Lookers, a firm that has been hit by accounting investigations over the past year.
In November, the company said the investigation into "potentially fraudulent transactions" found fraud led to a loss of £327,000.
Like many other firms, it struggled to cope with the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, and in June last year announced plans to cut 1,500 jobs.
