Exclusive data: Lowest number of new UK retail CEOs since Covid
Only 22 permanent retail CEOs were appointed over the last 12 months, the lowest UK number in a decade except for 2021 when businesses were dealing with the fallout from the pandemic
Just six of the new appointees were women. This means the number of new female chief executives has halved on the year before, according to figures from the 2025 Korn Ferry UK Retail CEO Tracker.
