Moriarty will succeed Nick Wilkinson, whose departure was announced in February, following seven years in the role.

Dunelm said Wilkinson will stay on in his role until Moriarty’s appointment to ensure a smooth transition, and will step down from the board at the end of September, before leaving the business in early October.

The company said Moriarty is "an established retail leader". As a member of the operating board at Sainsbury’s, she holds responsibility for all stores and their operations, alongside the supermarket chain’s digital offer and strategy, customer experience and end to end technology platforms.

Moriarty has been with Sainsbury’s for 15 years, holding a variety of leadership roles, having previously worked for nine years at Bain & Company.

Chair Alison Brittain said: "We are thrilled to be appointing Clo as our new CEO. She is a proven industry leader and brings an impressive range of skills and experience from one of the UK's largest retailers, where she has played a prominent role in developing the Sainsbury's offer to drive market share gains over a number of years.

"Clo was the standout candidate from a strong field, and we are delighted that we have been able to attract such a talented and high calibre executive. As Nick hands on the baton, we are confident that her blend of retail, digital and strategic expertise will be a significant asset as we move into our next phase of growth as The Home of Homes."
