The world of retail was shaken earlier this week by the passing of W Galen Weston at the age of 80. 

Weston was the youngest of nine children to Willard Garfield Weston, who had expanded the family’s George Weston bakery business into a multinational corporation and sat as a member in the House of Commons. 

But he was also an entrepreneur and retail leader in his own right, having owned high-end department store Selfridges and helped to found Primark. 

Retail Week looks at the ways Weston changed retail, both in the UK and abroad.
