Adil Jan has been employed as Chief Information Officer to work with both Marshalls and its customers to gain value from technology and systems.

In a further investment in its digital transformation, Marshalls plc has appointed Adil Jan as Chief Information Officer.

This is a brand new role for Marshalls, to which Jan brings over 25 years of business transformation, systems and analytics experience, most recently gained from over seven years in the retail and healthcare industry at Bunzl.

Jan's focus is on driving the digital strategy forward, working with both Marshalls and its customers to gain value from technology and systems.

Leading a team of over 70, Jan works across the entire Marshalls group, using his passion and experience in new technology to improve the customer and partner experience.

Jan said: “I’m focusing on making digital a key part of the customer and employee proposition, helping us and our partners to move the industry towards more automation.

Electronic trading will be the priority for me, working across customer groups to make our systems talk better to one another and making the day to day process more efficient, benefitting all parties.”

Jan has joined Marshalls at a pivotal stage in its digital journey. In September 2021 the business launched an innovative augmented reality tool that enables domestic customers to instantly access virtual samples – 3D product models that they can ‘place’ in their own outdoor space.

The service is a first for the industry and is the first phase of a significant paving visualiser project for Marshalls.
