Jonathan Peachey said: "After seven fantastic years at Next 15, it feels like the right moment to start a new chapter in my professional life. I’m proud of the role I’ve played in building a stronger Group, developing talented teams, and positioning the business for future success, and I’m excited about applying what I’ve learned in my next leadership challenge. Sam and Mickey are brilliant leaders and I know that they will take Next 15 to new heights. I’m leaving confident that the businesses and teams I love are in exceptional hands. I’d like to thank Sam, the Board and Tim Dyson for all the generous support they have shown me over the years."
