Former Co-op food boss emerges as frontrunner in Matalan CEO race
Former Co-op chief executive of food Jo Whitfield has reportedly emerged as the frontrunner for the vacant top job at embattled fashion retailer Matalan.
Whitfield, who left the Co-op last year following a sabbatical, is in advanced talks with the new investor owners of Matalan, according to Sky News.
Her main competition for the role is the retailer’s current interim boss, Nigel Oddy. It is understood that a decision will be made no later than the middle of next week.
