LONDON — The Body Shop is adding to its executive leadership team with two new appointments.
Penny Brook is joining the company as chief marketing officer and Sally Dowling will take up the role of chief financial and operations officer.
They will both be working with The Body Shop’s chief executive officer Charles Denton.
“The Body Shop has always thrived under the leadership of smart, courageous women, and that’s certainly what we have now with Penny and Sally, in two of the company’s most influential roles,” Denton said.

“Their appointment reflects our two priorities as a business going forward: Firstly, to delight customers around the world with trailblazing innovations and the highest standards of ethical beauty, and secondly, to bring the company back to fiscal health, building a sustainable company in the truest sense, which can last for decades to come,” he added.
The appointments mark the latest change within The Body Shop.
As reported, The Body Shop was purchased out of administration this summer by a consortium led by Auréa, which describes itself as an investment platform focused on beauty, wellness and longevity.
Auréa is led by Mike Jatania, former owner of the Lornamead personal care and cosmetics group; Paul Raphael, and Andrew Vagenas.
“We have brought together a world-class leadership team with deep industry experience and significant financial acumen, all united in a mission to revitalize an iconic brand. Penny and Sally embody the values-led, brand-centric and commercially nimble mindset needed to optimize the business, to drive growth and to shape a sustainable future,” Jatania said.
Brook was previously global chief marketing officer and experience officer at Canada Goose and Dowling was CFO at GSF Car Parts, leading the group’s sale to Epiris.
