In support of that, members of the Board have spent time engaging with customers, colleagues and a wide range of stakeholders. There have been two changes to the composition of the Board in the year: – Due to illness, Charles Wilson stepped down from the Board in July, but we are very pleased that his recovery has been successful. Charles continues to lead Booker and, as a member of the Executive Committee, the wider Tesco business benefits from his continued involvement in matters of strategy. – In September, we were delighted to welcome Melissa Bethell to the Board, bringing a broad range of experience and skills from a background in strategy, finance and technology. Melissa is also a member of the Audit Committee. Throughout the year, the Board’s discussions have focused on longer-term strategic planning. With the progress that the business has made against our six strategic drivers – the medium-term ambitions that we outlined in October 2016, and which are detailed on pages 14 and 15 of this report – we have dedicated significant time and energy to developing our plans for sustainable “Our strong performance is a growth into the future. reflection of the hard work For every one of our stakeholders – our customers, colleagues, of our 450,000 colleagues” suppliers and shareholders – the direction of our future plans will build on the momentum of our last four years of turnaround, John Allan putting customers at the heart of everything we do.

  • The Global Grocery and General Merchandising Market Marketing Essay
    The Global Grocery And General Merchandising Market Marketing Essay Jack Cohen founded Tesco in 1919 when he began to sell surplus groceries from a stall at Well Street Market, Hackney, in the East End of London (ironically, the market is now much smaller than in those days; a large Tesco Metro store now sits on the site.)[11] The Tesco brand first appeared in 1924. The name came about after Jack Cohen bought a shipment of tea from T.E. Stockwell. He made new labels using the first three letters of the supplier’s name (TES), and the first two letters of his surname (CO), forming the word TESCO.[12] The first Tesco store was opened in 1929 in Burnt Oak, Edgware, Middlesex. Tesco was floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1947 as Tesco Stores (Holdings) Limited.[11] The first self-service store opened in St Albans in 1956 (which remained operational until 2010, with a period as a Tesco Metro),[13] and the first supermarket in Maldon in 1956.[11] During the 1950s and the 1960s Tesco grew organically, and also through acquisitions, until it owned more than 800 stores. The company purchased 70 Williamsons stores (1957), 200 Harrow Stores outlets (1959), 212 Irwins stores (1960, beating Express Dairies Premier Supermarkets to the deal), 97 Charles Phillips stores (1964) and the Victor Value chain (1968) (sold to Bejam in 1986).[14] Originally specialising in food and drink, it has diversified into areas such as clothing, electronics, financial services, telecoms, home, health, car, dental and pet insurance, retailing and renting DVDs,[10] CDs, music downloads, Internet services and software.

  • Business Management Review Semester 2 – 2010 BUSINESS MANAGEMENT REVIEW Tesco PLC
    By Dionne van het Kaar Student no. 09028730 Class: ES3-1C Tutor: Mr. L.J. Harris Course: Management of Organisations in Europe Business Management Review Semester 2 – 2010 BUSINESS MANAGEMENT REVIEW Tesco PLC Introduction Description of the company: Tesco is an international hypermarket chain. It was founded in 1924 in Britain. It is the largest British retailer by its global sales and local market share. Tesco is the third largest retailer in the world behind Wal-Mart in the United States, and Carrefour of France. The chain uses the slogan: "Every Little Helps". Brief History Tesco was founded by British businessman Jack Cohen in 1919, who began to sell groceries from a stall in East London (Hackney). He became market stall holder of a number of stalls and started a wholesale business. In 1924 the Tesco brand made its appearance. The name originates from when Jack Cohen ordered a shipment of tea from tea supplier T.E. Stockwell. He took the two initials of the supplier and the first letter of his surname (TES), and then he combined it with the first two letters of his own surname (CO), forming ‘TESCO’ as the brand name.The first domestic brand sold by Cohen was Tesco Tea. The first Tesco store was established in 1929 in Burnt Oak, Edgware, Middlesex. In 1932 Tesco Stores Ltd became a private limited company (PLC) and by 1939, Jack owned a hundred Tesco stores. Tesco Stores (Holdings) Ltd floated on the stock exchange with a share price of 25 pence in 1947. Expansion and successes During the 1950s and the 1960s Tesco grew significantly, until it eventually had more than 800 stores.

  • No.1 Retailer in Britain Uses 'Clubcard' to Thwart Wal-Mart by Cecilie Rohwedder from Wall Street Journal, 6 June 2006
    No.1 Retailer in Britain Uses 'Clubcard' to Thwart Wal-Mart by Cecilie Rohwedder from Wall Street Journal, 6 June 2006 (c) 2005Dow Jones & Company, Inc.Reproduced with permission of copyright owner.Further reproduction or distribution is prohibited without permission. CHESHUNT, England -- When Wal-Mart Stores Inc. entered the British market in 1999 by buying a chain of stores here, many expected it to dominate. Instead, Wal-Mart's largest non-American operation has been struggling recently, and its top local rival is thriving. That rival is Tesco PLC, Britain's largest retailer. Its big weapon is information about its customers. Tesco has signed up 12 million Britons for its Clubcard program, giving cardholders discounts in exchange for their name, address and other personal information. The Clubcard has helped boost Tesco's market share in groceries to 31%, nearly double the 16% held by Wal-Mart's Asda chain, according to market-research firm Taylor Nelson Sofres. The data let Tesco tailor promotions to individual shoppers and figure out quickly how new initiatives are working. After Tesco introduced Asian herbs, cooking oil and other ethnic foods in neighborhoods with many Indians and Pakistanis, the data showed the new products were also popular with affluent white customers. The company quickly expanded the rollout. Tesco's computers often turn up counterintuitive results. Shoppers who buy diapers for the first time at a Tesco store can expect to receive coupons by mail for baby wipes, toys -- and beer. Tesco's analysis showed that new fathers tend to buy more beer because they are home with the baby and can't go to the pub.
