  • Tesco launches new online supplier community

    Tesco launches new online supplier community

    Tesco recently launched a new interactive platform that is expected to collaboration, innovation and sustainability across its suppliers worldwide.

    The Tesco Supplier Network would benefit over 5,000 members as they would be able to connect directly with Tesco teams, learn more about Tesco and learn from each other on issues such as energy, food waste or innovation.

    “This new community of Tesco teams, suppliers and producers from around the world gives us the opportunity to improve communication, share ideas and continually improve the products that our customers enjoy,” said Jason Tarry, Head of Commercial at Tesco.

    The Tesco funded site brings together two pre-existing communities; the Tesco Producer Network, which served fresh food producers, and the Tesco Knowledge Hub, which was open to branded manufacturing and processing suppliers.

  • Tesco masterplan? New boss keeps investors and staff guessing

    Tesco masterplan? New boss keeps investors and staff guessing

    When Phil Clarke was sacked as Tesco’s CEO, senior executives hoped his 0700 strategy meetings would go with him. They did – new boss Dave Lewis starts his at 0630.

    Parachuted in from Unilever in September, Lewis soon faced the task of making the shock announcement that a GBP250 million (USD391 million) hole had been found in Tesco’s profits, in an accounting scandal that led to the departure of several senior executives.

    Now the CEO – despite having no direct retail experience – is keeping management on a tight rein and personally taking charge of key areas of the business, sources say. And as he conducts a vast review of Tesco’s operations to come up with a strategy to revive its fortunes, he is giving little away – even to insiders.
