Tesco unveils new UK boss

Booker boss Charles Wilson will head up Tesco’s UK business following the supermarket’s £3.7 billion takeover of the wholesaler.

The appointment will see current UK and Ireland boss Matt Davies, who joined Tesco in 2015, leave the group in April. Tesco group chief executive Dave Lewis said Wilson is well-suited to his new role “in the next phase of our turnaround”.
