Littlewoods wins Energis IT head

From supplier to buyer for CIO Wyke

The IT director at telecoms supplier Energis has left the company to join one of its largest customers as CIO.

Martin Wyke left Energis last month after just a year in what was a newly-created role of IT director and now takes up the position of CIO at Littlewoods Home Shopping and Shop Direct, where he will be responsible for IT strategy.

The move is not a big surprise given Wyke's strong background in the retail sector. He has previously been in senior IT management positions at Debenhams, Burton Group and Marks and Spencer.

Alistair McGeorge, CEO at Littlewoods, said in a statement: "I am delighted to welcome Martin to the business and I am confident that with his wealth of IT management experience, we will create a state-of-the-art systems platform that will enable us to achieve greater efficiency and better meet customers’ needs."
