Asda’s CEO Steps Down Earlier Than Expected

Trevor Strain, Morrisons’ Chief Operating Officer, Steve Murrells, the boss of the Co-op, Jason Tarry, CEO of Tesco UK & Ireland, Stuart Machin, head of Food at M&S, Ronny Gottschlich, a former boss of Lidl, and Anthony Hemmerdinger, Asda’s COO, have been named by industry watchers as potential candidates to take over from Burnley.

NamNews Implications:

• With six potential candidates, NAMs will need further clarity…
• …in order to muse re impact of a replacement on Asda policy.
• Meanwhile, anticipate more influence from the owners…
