    It is with deep regret that Woolworths Group plc announces the death yesterday of Roger Jones.
    Roger joined F.W. Woolworth in 1958, and spent the majority of his career in the business, becoming Managing Director of Woolworths plc
in 1995, a post he held until his retirement in 1998. In 2001,Roger was invited to join the Board of the newly listed Woolworths Group plc
upon its demerger from Kingfisher plc, and served as a non-executive director and Chairman of the Board's Audit Committee for more than
seven years.
    Richard North, Chairman, said;
    "Everyone at Woolworths is greatly saddened by this news. Roger was an integral part of Woolworths for many years, and his significant
contribution to the business will be greatly missed. 
    On behalf of the Board and all of Roger's colleagues, I should like to extend my sympathy to his wife Joan and their family."
