Bensons for Beds has made two key appointments to its leadership team to help drive transformation of the business across its stores and online platform.
Rob Watson is joining as director of digital, with responsibility for ecommerce, digital marketing, digital data and analytics, and digital user experience. Rob, who most recently led the digital agenda at American Golf, will join the Bensons team in December.

Rob and Graham will work closely together with the aim of building a seamless experience for customers shopping in-store and online.
Bensons’ chief commercial and digital officer, Nick Collard, says: “Here at Bensons we’re attracting the best talent in the business to drive our transformation, so I’m delighted to be able to announce these two important appointments.
“Rob and Graham bring a wealth of technology and retail experience to their roles. Their contribution to our ambitious plans to make Bensons the business we know our customers want both online and offline, will be invaluable.”
Last month Bensons announced the appointment of Mandy Winser as COO, who joined the business from Swissport.
