John Lewis Partnership appoints Jason Tarry, former Tesco UK boss, as new chairman.

John Lewis Partnership has appointed Jason Tarry, former UK boss of Tesco, as its new chairman, succeeding Dame Sharon White. Tarry's previous experience at Tesco, leading the UK operations through the pandemic, is expected to contribute to John Lewis's ongoing transformation. The partnership recently revamped its turnaround plans, including ditching its target to make 40% of profits outside of retail by 2030.
