Tesco appoints new F&F CEO

Tesco has appointed Jan Marchant as CEO of its F&F clothing division, seven months after Richard Price left to join Marks & Spencer.

Marchant joined Tesco in 2002 and had been creative and digital director at F&F since 2017. She had been acting in the CEO role since Price's departure.

The move was reported by Retail Week, which saw an internal staff memo confirming the appointment.

Richard Price had been CEO at F&F for five years, having joined from BHS, where he was managing director. Before that he was trading director at Marks & Spencer.

He officially re-joined M&S as managing director for clothing, home and beauty last month, replacing Jill McDonald who is now CEO at Costa Coffee.
