Palmer and Harvey
The Palmer & Harvey chief operating officer Helen Buck has tendered her resignation, for personal reasons, after five months at the company.
The board said it had “reluctantly accepted” her resignation and the search for her replacement is underway.
Palmer & Harvey, which sells grocery confectionery and alcohol, said that in the interim period the management team would step in. This includes group operations director Mark Leonard, who was formerly head of supply chain logistics at The Cooperative Group, as well the rest of the senior management team.
Chris Etherington, chairman and chief executive officer of Palmer & Harvey, said:
“Our strong management team is making significant progress in line with our strategy, which is focused on delivering a first-class service underpinned by operational efficiency to the benefit of all of our customers and suppliers.”
