RAPAPORT... Michael Hill appointed Brett Halliday president for North
America as part of acting chief executive officer Phil Taylor’s plan to turn
around the U.S. business following disappointing sales.
U.S. operations have been added to Halliday’s current
responsibility as head of the Canadian business, the company confirmed. Michael
Hill’s same-store revenues rose
3.5 percent in the U.S. during fiscal 2016, coming in below expectations
and budget, with the jeweler pledging to focus on growing sales stateside
before adding to its 10 stores.
Halliday, who took on the newly created role with immediate
effect, replaced Darcy Harkins, retail general manager for the U.S., and Ray
Riley, who was the country’s regional manager.
The appointment comes after Mike Parsell stepped
down as the group CEO after a 16-year stint and was replaced by interim
chief Phil Taylor last month.
Separately, Tishara Mina replaced Micah Walker as general
manager of Emma & Roe, Michael Hill’s charm brand.
