<\/div>\n
Britain\u2019s John Lewis Partnership has appointed former Tesco executive Jason Tarry as its next chairman following Sharon White\u2019s decision to step down from the retailer.<\/div>\n
Tarry, who has 33 years of retail experience at Tesco including six as the supermarket\u2019s UK & Ireland boss, will take up the role in September, John Lewis said on Monday.<\/div>\n
He said it was a \u201cgreat privilege\u201d to succeed White as the seventh chairman of the employee-owned company that owns John Lewis department stores and Waitrose supermarkets.<\/div>\n
White, the retailer\u2019s first female chairman, said in October she would not seek a second term of office, making her tenure the shortest in its more than 100-year history.<\/div>\n
The company\u2019s stores, long favoured by Britain\u2019s middle classes, were already facing competition from online rivals before the pandemic and the cost of living crisis heaped pressure on the group.<\/div>\n
White, who had no retail experience before taking the role, closed stores and cut jobs, resulting in a return to profit\u00a0in 2023\u00a0after three years of losses.<\/div>\n
She said she was delighted to hand over to Tarry, who had \u201ca combination of fantastic retail experience with leadership through transformation\u201d.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
