Veteran Asda director leaves
Woolworths has appointed Asda's non-food director Tony Page to the newly created post of managing director for commercial and marketing.

Page joined Asda in 1994 and held a number of positions before becoming non-food trading director.

Before joining Asda, he was a senior buyer at rival supermarket Sainsbury's.

Woolworths chief executive Trevor Bish-Jones said: 'Tony has a strong track record of driving growth and innovation across a broad range of general merchandise categories. He will bring invaluable experience to Woolworths, to help us continue the development of our product offer and supply chain capability.'
