Tesco has appointed two new non-executive directors.
Richard Cousins and Mikael Ohlsson will join the board of the controversy-mired retailer on 1 November 2014 as non-executive Directors.
Cousins has been group CEO of Compass Group PLC since 2006. He was a non-executive director of Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC from 2009 until May 2014, and also held the same role at HBOS PLC and Bank of Scotland from 2007 to 2009.
Ohlsson, meanwhile, was CEO and president of the IKEA Group until September 2013.
He is currently a non-executive director of Volvo Car Corporation, Ikano SA and Lindengruppen.
Sir Richard Broadbent, Tesco chairman, said: “I am delighted to welcome Mikael and Richard to the board, and know that their broad skills and experience will be a real asset to the company in the coming years.
'Mikael and Richard have been updated on and are wholly supportive of the steps being taken by the new management team to rebuild trust in Tesco and to focus all the resources of the business to deliver value to our customers.”
