Online estate agent Purplebricks rents Mitchell as interim chief Purplebricks, the online estate agent owned by Sir Charles Dunstone, one of Britain's most prolific entrepreneurs, has parachuted in an interim chief executive 18 months after it delisted from the London stock market.
According to the update circulated to investors, Strike executive chairman Andrew Harrison - a long-standing colleague of TalkTalk and Carphone Warehouse co-founder Sir Charles - has also made a number of other senior appointments.
Sky News has learnt that shareholders in Strike, Purplebricks' parent company, were notified this week that Stuart Bartlett, a former automotive industry executive, has been appointed to the role.
Mr Bartlett's profile on LinkedIn, the professional networking site, lists him as a board advisor to Purplebricks and an investor in Strike.
It swooped to buy Purplebricks in June 2023 for just £1, reflecting the crisis which had engulfed the prominent digital property agent.
