Christine Tacon
Christine Tacon has been appointed as the new groceries code adjudicator.
The former boss of the Co-Operative Group's farming business will be responsible for enforcing the Groceries Supply Code of Practice, which regulates interactions between the 10 largest supermarkets.
The adjudicator will have the power to launch investigations into suspected breaches of the code, including those arising from confidential complaints.
Tacon said she was “honoured” to have been given the chance to make a “permanent and enduring difference” to the groceries sector.
