Irwin Lee to step down from Morrisons board
Morrisons has announced that Irwin Lee, a non-executive director of the supermarket and chair of its remuneration committee, will step down from the board at the end of August.
The news follows the announcement of Lee’s appointment as chief executive of Rustan Supercenters in his native Philippines.
Andrew Higginson, Morrisons chairman, said: “Irwin has impressed us all with his enthusiasm and drive, and with his extensive supplier knowledge. However, we fully understand and respect Irwin’s decision to move back into a full time executive role and to relocate.”
Lee added: “I have enjoyed my time on the Morrisons board, contributing to the turnaround and growth strategy reset. I have no doubt Morrisons will continue the improvement trend we’ve begun to see.”
