Womenswear brand Jigsaw has announced that CEO Hash Ladha will be leaving the business as of the end of July. The exec — who previously led Oasis and Warehouse — has been at the helm of the premium brand since October 2023 when he took over from previous CEO Beth Butterwick.

The company said he’ll be helping with the smooth transition and will continue to work with the board until the summer. It hasn’t named a replacement or said whether it expects a new CEO to be in place by the time of Ladha’s departure.

As mentioned, he was formerly group CEO at Oasis and Warehouse and was helping to drive a turnaround there before the pandemic dealt the business a crushing blow. It was then sold to Boohoo Group.

His career has also seen him holding senior positions at Dorothy Perkins, New Look and ASOS.

Jigsaw thanked Ladha for his contribution to its turnaround, saying he’s “re-established the product and brand proposition with success and leaves a great foundation on which to build upon”.

He’s also built a strong leadership team, which will clearly be crucial in the interim period.

Last October Jigsaw reported its results for the year to the end of January 2024 and while revenue rose, it swung to a pre-tax loss.

Ladha had been in change for just three months during that year and the company said it had been been seeing encouraging results from his initiatives in respect of autumn 2024 trading.
