Alan Giles

For the Anglican Dean of Jersey, see Alan Giles (priest).

Alan James Giles[1] OBE is a British businessman and currently a non-executive director of the Competition and Markets Authority. He is also a non-executive director of Rentokil Initial plc and a member of OFT's Audit and Risk Remuneration committees.[2]

Career

From March 1999 until September 2006 he was chief executive officer of HMV Group, owner of record shop HMV, which he joined in 1998.[3][4]

HMV Group also owned the UK bookshop chain Waterstones,[4] which bought another book chain Ottakars in 2006.[5] HMV and Waterstones suffered a decline in sales in the financial year 2005–2006. Giles stated that the internet, including music downloading, and supermarket competition, contributed towards HMV's decline in sales.[6]

After leaving HMV, he became chairman of Fat Face, the active lifestyle retailer.[7]
