TESCO ANNOUNCES BOARD AND EXECUTIVE CHANGES
The Board of Tesco would like to announce the following changes
to the Board and Executive Committee:
Following an operation to remove his tonsils in April of this
year, Charles Wilson was diagnosed with throat cancer. During May
and June he has been undergoing daily radiotherapy. The good news
is that Charles has responded very well to the treatment and all
the signs are that the treatment has been successful.
However, given the nature of the illness and the need for
Charles to remain vigilant in his recuperation, we have agreed to
make the following changes to responsibilities within the senior
leadership team.
Charles will step down as CEO Tesco UK & ROI and from the
PLC Board, but remain on the Tesco Executive Committee. He will
focus on leading the Booker business, continuing to deliver the
cost synergies and driving the growth agenda set out in the merger
agreement. As a member of the Executive Committee he will
contribute to the broader Tesco UK Strategy. He will continue to
report to Dave Lewis.
Jason Tarry, currently Group Chief Product Officer, will become
the CEO of the UK & ROI business and Andrew Yaxley, currently
CEO Ireland, will be promoted to Group Chief Product Officer and
join the Tesco Executive Committee. Both Jason and Andrew will
report to Dave Lewis.
All changes to responsibilities will be effective from 16
July.
