ASDA- comment

Allan Leighton has suggested that he may appoint a CEO who is not a traditional grocer, and the attached list has only one pure grocer on it. We like Chris Bush’s CV but think the CEO should be a grocer. Leighton will produce his plan before the CEO is appointed, so a general retailer rather than a grocer may find it more palatable. Either way, the sooner a candidate is identified and recruited, the better.
