Holland & Barrett has hired Vision Express’ UK and Ireland managing director in an executive role, Retail Week can reveal.
Vision Express’ acquisition of Tesco’s opticians business has been flagged by competition watchdogs as one that could “lead to a worse deal for some customers.”
Fashion retailers at both ends of the market bucked the downward trajectory today, with Primark and Burberry both having cause for celebration.
