Master Debonair has become one of the fastest-growing independent menswear retailers in the UK after being founded by Simon and Eve Whitaker just two years ago. It currently has 22 staff and has reached annual turnover of more than £2 million.
 
So what does Morgan bring to the mix? Well, he’s a graduate of Harvard Business School "with a proven track record in driving growth in SME businesses, with 25 years’ experience in retail, e-commerce and niche markets.” As well as being founder and MD of fast-growing digital marketing agency Venture Stream, he is non-executive chairman of Komodo Digital, he founded Ethical Superstore and was a non-executive director of The Pen Shop.

Master Debonair CEO Simon Whitaker said of the appointment: “The business is growing faster than we had ever imagined and with Vic’s wealth of industry knowledge and experience he will be an asset as we continue to grow.”
 
Morgan added: “Simon and Eve make a great team and together they have done a fantastic job growing Master Debonair into a successful start-up over such a short time. The business has enormous potential having been established on an excellent foundation with family-business values at its core.
 
“I’m very much looking forward to building on this foundation leading the board at such an exciting and important time.”
