Dunelm said Devine will be considered non-independent with immediate effect and has stepped down from its audit and risk, nominations and remuneration committees.
The retailer’s chair Alison Brittain said: “I am delighted that Kelly has agreed to join the Dunelm executive team as our customer director. I would like to thank Kelly for her valuable contribution as a non-executive over the past two years.
“Whilst she will be greatly missed around the board table, it’s fantastic to welcome her into her new role, where she will focus on pushing forward our customer proposition and working with the rest of our executive team to pursue the multiple opportunities we have to grow the business and develop our brand.”
