April 10 (Reuters) - British discount retailer B&M's interim CFO Helen Cowing has exited the firm after less than 5 months in the role, the company said, and would be replaced by Peter Waterhouse, the firm's financial controller.
Shares of the company fell 3.8% to 176 pence.
This marks the second change in finance leadership at B&M, after its previous finance chief stepped down following the disclosure of an accounting error that triggered a profit warning.
Waterhouse has been a key member of B&M's finance team since joining in 2013 and became group financial controller in 2020. He also trained and qualified with audit firm PricewaterhouseCoopers before working in senior finance roles at Johnson Service Group and Logica prior to joining B&M.
