Q&A: ABF boss George Weston on consumer caution, tariffs and search for new Primark CEO
After Primark posted a trading update for the 24 weeks to March 1 earlier today, Retail Week spoke to parent company ABF’s boss George Weston about consumer caution in the UK, the uncertainty in the US as a result of Trump’s tariff turmoil, opportunity in a review of the UK’s ‘de minimis’ loophole and what he’s looking for in a replacement for ex Primark chief executive Paul Marchant.
