"To maintain this competitive advantage, we need the right leaders to guide us in evaluating and identifying ways to enhance our organisational structure, including the ongoing integration of Camuto Group to unlock greater value for the enterprise. This ensures that we will continue meeting customers' needs both in stores and online, as our business recovers and we make the necessary investments to build a stronger foundation for the future."
