John Lewis Partnership boss Nish Kankiwala is to step back from the role of chief executive following the appointment of a new chairman with the role of CEO to be scrapped entirely, the group has announced.
The employee-owned retailer, which runs the department store chain and Waitrose supermarket arm, said Mr Kankiwala will revert to the role of non-executive in March next year and his old post will be scrapped.
