Card Factory appoints Matthias Seeger as CFO

Card Factory said on Friday that it has appointed Matthias Seeger as its new chief financial officer.

Seeger has been CFO of Ambassador Cruise Line since February 2022, having previously been CFO of Costcutter Supermarkets Group from September 2015 to September 2021.

His 31-year career has also included senior finance roles with Procter & Gamble, in Germany, the UK, Belgium and Switzerland, between 1991 and 2013.

Seeger is expected to join the greeting card and gifts retailer on 22 May.

Card Factory said Simon Comer, who is currently group financial controller, will be appointed as interim chief financial officer, but will not be appointed as a director of the company.

Chief executive Darcy Willson-Rymer said: "Matthias has extensive financial experience and I look forward to working with him again, confident that his expertise and values will support Card Factory's strategic projects and significant change programme over the next few years."
