Fitness brand Gymshark has announced the appointment of Laura Hagan to the role of Chief People Officer.

Laura is the latest in a series of senior appointments at the company, following former Asos exec Mat Dunn as Chief Financial Officer, Burberry’s John Douglas as Chief Technology Officer and Carly O’Brien to VP, Marketing. She will be joining Gymshark after over four years as Tate & Lyle’s Chief HR Officer, where she oversaw the transformation across its food solutions business. Prior to that, Hagan served in a number of key roles over 11 years at Dyson, one of which included Global HR Director. Laura’s first key responsibility is to ensuring the retailer attracts the “right talent at the right time”, ultimately enabling growth in a considered, structured and sustainable way, as the firm looks ahead to the challenges and opportunities ahead.
