After Marigay McKee's resignation as chief merchant at Harrods in September, the luxury department store has named not one, but two successors in newly-created positions. McKee leaves her position after 14 years at the Knightsbridge department store to take on the role of president at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York.

Helen David, who was formerly general merchandise manager of womenswear and fine jewellery, has been made fashion director of womenswear, accessories, fine jewellery and childrenswear. Jason Broderick, previously general merchandise manager of menswear, sports and watches, has been appointed to fashion director of the same three categories. David and Broderick have been with the company for 6 and 15 years respectively and will both report to Harrod managing director Michael Ward.

"Both are excellent merchants, with an exceptional eye for luxury, playing an integral part in developing the world class offer that Harrods is known for," comments Ward.
