Pepco Group, the pan-European variety discount retailer, and owner of the PEPCO and Dealz brands in Europe and Poundland in the UK, announces that its Chief Financial Officer, Nick Wharton, is taking a temporary leave of absence from his full-time duties to receive medical treatment following a recent successful medical procedure.
