Mark Price, Managing Director of Waitrose and Deputy Chairman,
to leave the Partnership
Rob Collins appointed new Managing Director of Waitrose
The John Lewis Partnership announces today that, after a 33 year
career, Mark Price has set out his intention to step down as
Managing Director of Waitrose and Deputy Chairman and to leave the
Partnership on 3rd April 2016. Mark has worked with Sir Charlie
Mayfield, the Partnership's Chairman, to agree the timing of his
leaving in the best interests of the Partnership.
Rob Collins, Waitrose's Retail Director, has been appointed to
succeed Mark when he steps down. Rob has been with the Partnership
for 22 years, initially with John Lewis in a number of senior roles
before moving to Waitrose in 2007 to establish its e-commerce
business. In 2010 Rob was appointed Personnel Director and in early
2012 was appointed Retail Director.
Sir Charlie Mayfield said:
"Mark is pursuing new opportunities, but he will remain a
passionate advocate of the Partnership and its ownership model. He
has had a long and distinguished career with the Partnership and
his leadership of Waitrose has seen outstanding success. As a
member of the Partnership Board for 11 years and Deputy Chairman
since 2013, Mark has played a key role in steering the Partnership
and has been a valued and trusted colleague.
"Rob Collins has been a central figure in Waitrose's management
team for a number of years and his strong leadership skills and
operational success have ensured that he has been a central part of
the Board's thinking on succession planning for some time. I'm
confident that he will make the step-up to the Managing Director
role quickly and effectively."
