Board Change

On 13 January 2015, Morrisons announced that a search would start immediately for a new Chief Executive. The search is progressing well.

With the financial year closing on 1 February 2015, the Board and Dalton Philips have jointly agreed that as the new financial year begins it is the appropriate time for Dalton to relinquish his responsibilities. Dalton will therefore step down from the Board and leave the business on Monday 16 February 2015.

In the interim period, Trevor Strain will chair the management board and assume Dalton's executive responsibilities. Andrew Higginson will also spend more time in the business until the new CEO is in place.

Andrew Higginson, Morrisons Chairman, said: "We're making good progress with the search for a new CEO. With Trevor Strain chairing the management board, together with the retailing strength and depth that I've seen in my short time at Morrisons, I'm confident that it will be business as usual during this transitional period."
