John Lewis is ‘back on track’ insists outgoing chair
Sharon White, the outgoing chair of John Lewis Partnership, has insisted the retailer is “back on track” and “more fit for the future” after her tenure, allowing it to spend more money on Waitrose and move into the c-store market.
White, who is due to hand over the reins of the UK retail giant to former Tesco UK boss Jason Tarry in September, told The Telegraph: “We’re back on track and much more fit for the future.
“This is a launchpad for the next phase of growth for the business and, to be frank, we’re in as solid a position as we could be given the five years we’ve had.”
