Stock market today: S&P 500 drops for fifth day as focus shifts to Powell’s speech
Investing.com -- John Lewis (JO:LEWJ) Partnership Plc is looking for a new managing director for its upmarket grocery chain Waitrose after James Bailey announced his departure.
Bailey, who joined Waitrose in 2020 and guided the supermarket through the pandemic period, will step down from his position on September 30, according to a statement released by John Lewis to Bloomberg on Thursday.
The company did not provide a reason for Bailey’s exit. In the statement, Bailey said "this feels like the right time to hand over the reins."
Tina Mitchell, who currently serves as retail director for Waitrose, will take over the managing director role on an interim basis when Bailey leaves at the end of September.
