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.
