Retailer Jollyes Pets has confirmed two senior appointments to its leadership team.
Joining the group as its new chief marketing officer is Sean McGinty, who is taking direct responsibility for customer, marketing and Jollyes’ digital and loyalty proposition. McGinty joined the business in October after three years as marketing director at Dunelm and, prior to that, four years as marketing director of Aldi UK as well as previous roles at Debenhams and Asda.
In May, David Stokes will join as retail and supply chain director, taking direct responsibility for functions led by Adam Dury who was promoted to chief executive designate in October 2025.
Stokes will join Jollyes after six years at Gregory Group, a third-party logistics provider based in the South West of England. Prior to that role, David spent 16 years at Lidl in several positions across retail, supply chain and logistics both in the UK and Europe.
Chief executive designate Adam Dury said: “It’s no secret that Jollyes is growing at a significant pace as we open new stores right across the UK.
“Those growth ambitions will be fuelled by talented retailers and that’s why I’m delighted to welcome Sean and David to our leadership team as we bring our unique combination of low prices and pet expertise to more customers.
“David’s hands-on retail leadership and supply chain expertise and Sean’s retail marketing experience will be real assets to the business as we continue to shake up the UK pet retail market.”
