Argos Financial Services welcomes new Managing Director

16 November 2004

Argos Financial Services has a new managing director at the helm since Greg Ball took up his new role on 1 November 2004.

Announced at the beginning of July, Greg Ball’s appointment completes the senior management team structure following the sad death of his predecessor, Trevor Hilliard, at the end of last year.

Greg comes from a career spanning 15 years at Littlewoods, where he first became marketing director for Littlewoods and Index stores. After a three month sabbatical studying at Harvard, Greg returned to the UK and became group e-commerce director of Littlewoods Group. He then moved into the financial services arena, becoming first the financial services director and then managing director of Littlewoods Finance Co.

Greg Ball said his appointment will be a welcome challenge: “With millions of customers across Argos and Homebase, the opportunity to develop retail credit, financial and insurance services is significant.”

And Terry Duddy, chief executive of Argos Retail Group, said he was delighted to welcome Greg as part of the ARG team.
