Sailing, equestrian, shooting and outdoor clothing brand Musto has appointed Simon Rosenberg, formerly of Pepe Jeans and Tommy Hilfiger Europe, as head of retail.

The move precedes a period of planned expansion for the group including store development, retail expansion, improved customer experience and focus on merchandising.

Mr Rosenberg was also at Calvin Klein for ten years where he covered the roles of wholesale off-price sales manager, European outlet general manager and commercial operations manager.

Chief executive Peter Smith said: "We are thrilled to have Simon on board, his strong retail background with critical focus on outlets will bring a level of expertise to Musto, that is sure to make a difference. We felt Simon's industry know-how made him a cut above the rest, and we're looking forward to seeing him make the difference that sets Musto apart."
