Major UK-based retailer Tesco has reportedly parted company with one of its fresh produce category directors, while a second director is moving to the company’s US venture, Fresh & Easy.
Fresh category director Alex Dower is leaving the supermarket operator to join UK sandwich chain Pret A Manger, while fellow director Tim Lee is moving overseas to take up a post with Fresh & Easy, The Grocer reports.
Mr Dower, said the publication, oversaw the integration of the operations side of Tesco’s fresh produce business into the rest of the company, while he was also responsible for heading up the group’s ‘price pledge’ and ‘buy for less’ promotions.
Mr Lee, who took charge of the development of Tesco’s global direct sourcing project, is set to become Fresh & Easy’s fresh trading director.
