"To ensure a smooth and orderly transition, the board will begin considering options for the future management of the group as Philippe continues to drive the performance of the business," said AIM-listed Victoria, which makes and distributes flooring.

Victoria said management's immediate focus remains on delivering self-help initiatives outlined at the recent full-year results, generating cash to deleverage, and rebuilding the company's credit rating.

Chairman Geoff Wilding said: "Philippe's leadership has seen Victoria transformed from a collection of high-quality flooring companies into an integrated flooring group that is Europe's largest. He has been particularly responsible for the group's winning strategy in the UK.

"As the board considers its options for a successor, the objectives will be to maintain the focus on execution, and ensure the company delivers value for shareholders."
