CLAIRE Webb is joining the board of outdoor equipment and clothing retailer Go Outdoors, as chief financial officer.

She will join the South Yorkshire-based business, which has a store in Pudsey, from electrical retailer Maplin where she oversaw refinancing and the sale of the business to Rutland Partners earlier this year. She replaces Chris Morgan, who is leaving Go Outdoors after several years during which he improved its performance and led a refinancing programme to fund further growth.
