Boots has appointed Asda’s former chief operating officer Anthony Hemmerdinger as its executive retail director, according to Retail Week.
Hemmerdinger will be in charge of Boots’ retail operations, including the running of its 2,000-strong store estate and he will report to Boots managing director Seb James.
This marks Hemmerdinger’s first retail appointment since he stepped down from Asda last year after six years at the company following the takeover of the grocery chain by the Issa brothers and TDR Capital.
He previously held senior roles at Sainsbury’s and Carphone Warehouse.
Boots has been contacted for comment.
