Tile specialist Topps Tiles Plc has announced the start date of its new CFO.

As previously announced back in December 2025, Topps appointed Caroline Browne as the company’s new CFO.

The retailer has confirmed that Caroline’s appointment will take effect from 26 May 2026, taking over from Stephen Hopson, following his resignation from the business.

Caroline is currently the Group Finance & Investor Relations Director at Watches of Switzerland Group Plc, where she leads the finance function and was part of the team that successfully executed the Initial Public Offering on the London Stock Exchange in 2019.

Commenting on Caroline’s appointment, Paul Forman, Chair of the Board said: “We are delighted to welcome Caroline as Chief Financial Officer. She has significant financial and investor relations experience in high quality retail organisations and a consistent track record of delivering strong results and I look forward to working with her as we build upon our growth ambitions and create continued long-term value for our customers, colleagues, and shareholders.”

Alex Jensen, CEO, added: “I’m very much looking forward to Caroline joining the business. Her extensive retail experience and proven ability in commercial finance, risk management, governance and investor relations will be invaluable as we continue to execute our growth strategy and strengthen our market position.”
