Aucklander Richard Holden is to head Wellington's premier department store Kirkcaldie and Stains (NZSE: KRK).

The company says Mr Holden's appointment follows an extensive search for a new managing director following the resignation of Philip Shewell in January.

Chairman, Denis Tait, says Mr Holden has extensive marketing experience and has a strong sense of what the business is about and where it can develop.

Mr Holden is currently a board member and trustee of the New Zealand Herald Foundation, a councillor of Auckland SPCA and, until recently, was a director of Merino New Zealand.

He will take up the post in Wellington in early October.
