Boxpark, the retail and F&B pop-up concept, has appointed Simon Champion as chief financial officer and Ben McLaughlin as operations manager.

Champion joins Boxpark from premium popcorn brand Propercorn, where he oversaw the company’s first major equity raise.

He headed up an equity research team at Deutsche Bank prior to leading easyHotel plc through a refinancing and IPO, where he reported directly to chairman Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou.

McLaughlin has held previous roles at Stonegate and Intertain, and will take responsibility for operations across the three Boxpark sites.

The appointments come ahead of Boxpark’s largest site opening in Wembley later this year.

Boxpark founder Roger Wade has previously told MCA has wants to open 20 sites over the next five years.
