(Reuters) – Troubled fashion retailer Ted Baker (TED.L) on Wednesday named easyJet (EZJ.L) Chairman John Barton as its non-executive chairman, less than a month after appointing Rachel Osborne to the permanent role of chief executive officer.

Barton previously served as chairman of Next plc (NXT.L) and held the role of senior independent director at WH Smith (SMWH.L) and SSP Group (SSPG.L).
