Meet The New Name At Temperley London

Temperley London has appointed its company president Patricia Sancho as its new CEO. Sancho will "continue to actively drive the company’s vision and strategy working closely with Alice Temperley", the fashion house's founder and creative director, according to a statement.

“My job is to think always about the future of our company and how to move it forward," said Alice Temperley. "Patricia and I have a strong personal bond and share a vision for the future of Temperley London. I appreciate Patricia’s unique sensibility, her leadership skills and strategic foresight. We now have a great management team and with this appointment all the pieces are in place to position our business for continued growth."

Sancho first joined the brand in 2013 as senior vice president of global sales, before which she clocked up positions at brands including Burberry, Club21 Armani and Juicy Couture, according to WWD.


"I am thrilled to have the opportunity to lead such an amazing organisation and to continue working directly with Alice Temperley and the great team we have," she said about her new role. "I believe the company has tremendous potential to continue expanding in the global marketplace as it broadens its appeal to all consumers."

Sancho, who will oversee the management of the ready-to-wear and bridal collections, replaces Ulrik Garde Due, who had been with the company since 2013, before which he worked at Céline and Burberry and Georg Jensen. He replaced Lars von Benningsen, who co-founded the business alongside Temperley.

The fashion house, which currently shows its collections on the London Fashion Week schedule, is slated to show its autumn/winter 2017 collection on Sunday 19th February.
