Super Retail’s Peter Birtles staying on as group pushes growth strategy

Australian auto accessories and sporting goods retailer Super Retail Group has extended chief executive Peter Birtles’s contract for three years, with a potential 40 percent pay rise, despite a weak start this year.

Birtles, who joined the group in 2001 as chief financial officer and was appointed managing director in 2006, will continue until December 2016.

Under the new contract, Birtles’ total fixed remuneration will rise 14.5 percent from AUD995,000 last year to AUD1.14 million (USD1.05m).
