Depop interim CEO Semple takes up role permanently
Peter Semple has clearly done good job as interim CEO of Depop, the peer to peer fashion resale marketplace, as he's now got the job permanently. The UK-based Etsy subsidiary has appointed him to the post after three months spent as interim chief executive. Before that he'd served in a number of executive roles at the business after joining in 2019. He clearly knows the company inside out having first been its CMO, before becoming chief brand officer in 2021 and CMO again in 2023. He became interim CEO in May. And his experience of cutting edge online businesses goes beyond Depop, having been with Google's creative lab for seven years before joining. Semple said of his six-year journey to the top job at the firm that 'from building our brand as chief marketing officer to guiding the company as interim chief executive officer, has been a privilege. Together with our incredible team, I am committed to accelerating our mission to make fashion circular.' London headquartered Depop, which also has offices in Manchester and New York, was fully taken over by stock-exchange listed Etsy in 2021. Josh Silverman, CEO of Etsy, said: 'During Peter's time as interim chief executive officer, he demonstrated not only a proven ability to lead and inspire teams, but showed his dedication to the Depop mission and its community. 'He brings a strong understanding of Depop's position in culture and resale and we couldn't be more confident in his vision for the future.' Depop's next set of accounts (for 2024) is due within two months. Its last accounts, filed last autumn and covering 2023, showed its community growing to 35 million registered users, up from 30 million in 2022. That helped to push revenue up 31% to £71.3 million and the operating loss narrowed by 29% to £49.1 million. Its key markets are the US, UK and Australia and around 56% of Depop sellers who made a sale during the year in question also made at least one purchase.

Forestry firm, director fined $112,000 for ongoing pollution of stream
Slash and sediment polluted an important stream in Waihī for over a year and despite six inspections, and two abatement notices, a logging company refused to change its behaviour and continued to cause environmental damage. Forestry company Seaview Logging Limited and company director, Graeme Howard Savill, who carried out the harvest, were convicted and sentenced by Environment and District Court Judge Lauren Semple in the Huntly District Court in April on five charges of breaching National Environmental Standards for Commercial Forestry and fined $112,500. After the conviction, the defendants appealed the sentence to the High Court. However, this week that appeal has been abandoned and RNZ can now report the original sentence. The summary of facts showed that on October 6, 2022, Waikato Regional Council enforcement officers visited the 18-hectare plantation forestry block on Thorn Rd, Waihī to inspect the harvest operation. The council found several breaches of the National Environmental Standard for Plantation Forestry, including a lack of stormwater and water run off control, exposed areas of soil which had not been stabilised, and unmaintained and ineffective erosion and sediment control measures. ADVERTISEMENT This was the first of six inspections over 2022 and 2023 which all found sediment and erosion control measures were deficient in protecting the environment from discharges. In her sentencing indication, Judge Semple said during each visit to the site the council told the defendants that the sediment and erosion control measures were unsatisfactory to prevent the discharge of sediment to waterways. "Rather than work with the council to ensure that appropriate sediment and erosion control measures were put in place and appropriately maintained, Mr Savill determined that such measures were unnecessary or could be undertaken in a perfunctory manner or at a later date." Judge Semple also wrote that Savill was an experienced operator who knew, or should have known, that effective sediment and erosion control mechanisms are a fundamental component of a forestry harvesting operations. "I accept the prosecutor's submission that the offending was deliberate and sustained. I find the defendants' actions to be highly careless bordering on reckless and the culpability in this matter to be high." Waikato Regional Council's acting regional compliance manager Evan Billington said the Waitaheke Stream, which was affected by the failure to control sediment and erosion, should be protected. He said the effects of sediment and forestry slash on waterways was widely known. "The harvest and earthworks management was done very poorly, with Mr Savill failing to take his responsibilities seriously, despite the intervention of council officers," Billington said.
