The former CFO at Imperial Brands is joining the board of discount retailer B&M Retail – and will take on a key committee role following another board member’s retirement.
Oliver Tant is set to become a non-executive director at B&M from November 1, 2022, when he will also join the group’s Audit & Risk and Nomination Committees
It is expected that at B&M’s annual general meeting in July 2023, Tant will succeed Ron McMillan as chair of the Audit & Risk committee. By then, McMillan would have served over nine years as a non-executive director and will retire from the board.
Mr Tant was CFO at Imperial Brands from 2013 to 2021 and is currently non-executive director and audit committee chair designate at Redrow plc. Before joining Imperial he spent more than 30 years with KPMG, serving on its international executive committee for four years.
