Meet the man set to lead Boxer from 2027 – Justin Galloway
Galloway joined Boxer in 2012.
Boxer, the discount retailer, has announced that Justin Galloway will assume the role of CEO starting March 1, 2027, following the retirement of Marek Masojada at the end of the month. Galloway has been with the company since 2012 and has held various senior positions, including finance, store operations, and supply chain leadership.
He played a crucial role in scaling Boxer's distribution infrastructure, driving operational efficiency, and managing the business during periods of significant disruption. Galloway expressed his excitement about building upon the strong foundation established under Masojada's leadership and leading the company through its next phase of growth.
Masojada, who joined Boxer with just five stores and an annual turnover of R120 million, has overseen the retailer's expansion to over 600 stores and its listing on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. He praised Galloway's extensive operational experience and leadership skills, stating that Boxer will continue to thrive under his guidance.
During the past six months, Boxer delivered a resilient performance, with turnover growing by 6.3% to R24.1 billion and profit increasing by 10.6% to R774 million. The company reached its milestone of 600 stores and opened 24 new stores during the period. Masojada will remain with Boxer until November 2027 to support Galloway and the Group Executive team.
