Burberry is said to have started the search for a successor for Chairman Gerry Murphy.

The British fashion house started its formal search and works with headhtzen, reports the Sky News news platform. According to the insider: inside the media company, a precise schedule has not yet been determined, but Murphy is not expected to leave the company another year.

A first search process is said to have been initiated last year when Sky News first speculated about Murphy’s succession. However, it is now assumed that this has developed into “a more uncomplicated search” for a successor.

The company, which is currently being managed by Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Joshua Schulman, welcomed a number of new managers last year, since the company continues to implement a turnaround strategy in response to a profit warning in early 2024. The team was commissioned to revive the luxury brand and the reversal of a long slowdown by the trade. The company reported a decline in sales of 20 percent for the first half of 2024.
