Former Pets at Home boss Peter Pritchard has taken up the role of Interim Chief Executive Officer at German giant Fressnapf Holding SE.

With over 1,400 stores and 8,000 employees in 12 European countries Fressnapf is arguably the largest European pet product retailer.

Peter Pricthard said on his Linkedin page: “I am happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Interim Chief Executive Officer at Fressnapf Holding SE.

“I have worked with Fressnapf for many years, and I am very much looking forward to working with Torsten and the Fressnapf team to build the best pet supplies retailer in the world and unleash the full potential of Fressnapf/Maxi Zoo.”
 
Peter will now start to familiarise himself with the organization and, in addition to the headquarters in Krefeld, will visit the stores and colleagues throughout Europe.
 
He was Group Chief Executive Officer of Pets at Home between 2018 and 2022.
