Jollyes Pets has announced that Adam Dury has been formally appointed as chief executive officer after becoming CEO-designate in October 2025.
Mr Dury initially joined Jollyes as chief operating officer in January 2025 after five years as chief commercial officer at Card Factory and a member of its group operating board. Prior to Card Factory, he worked in commercial roles at Tesco and Marks and Spencer.
Jollyes also today confirmed the permanent appointment of Gary Temple as chief financial officer, following his 12-month interim assignment as CFO.
Mr Dury’s new leadership team now comprises Gary Temple (chief financial officer), Sean McGinty (chief marketing officer), Claire Goldenberg (chief people officer), Anne Galloway (commercial director), and David Stokes who has recently joined as retail and supply chain director.
Mr Dury’s formal appointment comes as Jollyes launches a five-year growth strategy that sets a clear direction for growth, including an ambition to bring Jollyes to significantly more customers as it strengthens its position in the UK pet market.
Now trading from 120 stores, last month Jollyes released the locations of over 160 towns and cities across Great Britain where it would like to open new stores over the next five years, should the right sites become available.
Mr Dury said: “It’s a real privilege to be appointed to lead this amazing business as we embark on our next chapter of growth.
“We have a unique and exciting opportunity to bring Jollyes to more pet parents over the next five years, bringing our special combination of value, expertise and exciting pet ranges to more customers than ever.
“With customer expectations of pet care rising, Jollyes will introduce fresh pet food ranges, making nutrition more accessible through outstanding value.”
