Retail is a time served industry where history has proved that the appointment of a CEO who has no experience of retail is a high risk.

no doubt Mr Williamson will have senior management skills but that is not quite the same as having trading skills and when an organisation does not have a first class merchant [ such as the new CEO of M&S] at the head of its business you can only conclude that its going to struggle.

clearly this is an appointment of a non retail skilled candidate made by a non retail skilled chairman. the senior management who are retail skilled must be wondering what on earth is going on!

wish him luck on his appointment but cant see it lasting at all.
