LONDON (ShareCast) - (Sharecast News) - British pet care business Pets At Home said on Wednesday that Lyssa McGowan had taken over as group chief executive officer, effective immediately.
Pets At Home noted that McGowan will succeed Peter Pritchard, who announced his intention to retire from the group back in November 2021 after eleven years.

Chairman Ian Burke said: "Pets at Home has thrived under Peter's leadership. In the four years since his appointment as CEO, its share of the pet care market has grown significantly, and his strategy to leverage the group's capabilities, bringing together joint venture veterinary services, grooming, product, multi-channel, and subscriptions has transformed the business into the UK's market-leading omnichannel pet care provider focused on serving the needs of the pet owner.

"I have no doubt that Pets at Home will continue to create value for all stakeholders under Lyssa's stewardship, and I look forward to supporting her and her executive management team as they lead the business through its next phase of growth."
