Ryan McDonnell Move of the Week: McDonnell climbs ranks to Lidl GB top spot 3rd December, 2021 2 mins read time The news that Ryan McDonnell will replace Christian Härtnagel as boss of Lidl GB will have come as no great shock to anyone familiar with the retailer’s recruitment strategy. Lidl almost always looks to promote from within, invariably handing top jobs to high-flyers who have been with the business for much if not all of their careers, and have gained experience across a range of functions and international markets.

Lord Stuart Rose Move of the Week: New Asda chair Lord Rose on hunt for CEO 26th November, 2021 3 mins read time Lord Stuart Rose’s appointment this week as chair of Asda came as no great surprise. It was rumoured over the summer that Rose was a leading candidate for the role, not least because he already holds the position of chair at EG Group, the petrol forecourt empire of Asda co-owners Mohsin and Zuber Issa.

sam perkins Move of the Week: Perkins to lead In The Style growth journey 19th November, 2021 3 mins read time Sam Perkins describes himself as being “at my best in highly ambitious, entrepreneurial and collaborative organisations with a strong emphasis on data and technology”.

Jonathan Akeroyd Move of the Week: What will luxury veteran Jonathan Akeroyd bring to Burberry? 22nd October, 2021 2 mins read time Jonathan Akeroyd’s appointment as new Burberry chief executive should serve to ease some of the concerns surrounding the future of the fashion giant. When predecessor Marco Gobbetti made the shock announcement in June of his plan to step down from the top job, Burberry’s share price plunged 15%, while its chairman Gerry Murphy admitted to his disappointment at losing the business’s highly-regarded leader.

the great resignation ‘Flexibility will be crucial for getting staff to stay during the Great Resignation’ 24th September, 2021 3 mins read time It has been dubbed The Great Resignation: the trend for employees to leave their jobs voluntarily as the coronavirus pandemic unwinds. US Labor Department data showed 4 million people quit their jobs in the US in April of whom 650,000 worked in retail. Other data, including from the UK, supports the view that these are devilishly difficult times for businesses looking to keep hold of their staff. Read Insight
asda's new owners Move of the Week: Retailers shift into recovery mode and shake up top teams 10th September, 2021 3 mins read time As always during the summer holiday season activity in the jobs market was relatively subdued during August albeit with one notable exception, which I shall come too shortly. Just one week into September, however, and things are starting to heat up with lots of new enquiries coming in as people return to the office (literally in many cases) and strategies for recovering from the pandemic are fine-tuned.

Professional services industry trends for 2021 4th August, 2021 3 mins read time If we asked businesses in any sector to describe their experiences in 2021, we could probably predict what they would say. Unpredictable, volatile, demanding. However, if we only asked the businesses which are growing and finding successes in 2021, we’d find that they didn’t stop there Read Insight

However, increasing awareness of how to approach tough conversations means that we can learn how to manage situations with respect and honesty. Read Insight
