Stimson will be moving into the role vacated by Rob Collins who will become Waitrose managing director on 4 April. Collins will succeed Mark Price who is stepping down to become Minister of State for Trade & Investment.
Having joined the John Lewis Partnership in 2010, Stimson has held a number of senior roles in both John Lewis and Waitrose. He is currently a member of the John Lewis Management Board and prior to that was director of retail operations at Waitrose.
Collins said: “Ben is a talented individual who has already made a great contribution to the Partnership. He’ll be a terrific retail director and an effective member of the Waitrose Management Board.”
