You heard it here first...
After nearly 39 years of outstanding service to Tesco in our UK operations, for the last 13 on our PLC board and, most recently, having thoroughly enjoyed leading our business in Asia as CEO, David Potts has decided to retire from Tesco in order to begin to fulfil long held personal ambitions.
I have worked alongside David for most of this time. I want to thank him for his commitment to, and relentless efforts on behalf of our customers and colleagues and to do so on behalf of everyone at Tesco. David has been an incredible servant to the company and an inspiration to thousands of our leaders, whose own careers are flourishing because he played his part in developing many of the programmes which made the Tesco retail team amongst the most admired in the world.
I am certain you will join me in wishing him and his family all the very best in their future together.
David will retire on 30 June 2012 when he will have completed an outstanding 39 years’ service. Between now and then David will work on one or two projects for myself, thus enabling his successor to immediately continue the leadership task of driving our growth in Asia.
That's him in the middle, a lifelong blue.
