Morrisons Appoints Anand Non-Executive Director

Morrisons has made a new appointment to its executive board, appointing Rooney Anand as a non-executive director and senior independent director, various sources report.

Anand, who will join the grocer on 1 January 2016, has worked for United Biscuits, Sarah Lee, and as the managing director of Greene King (his current position).

Morrisons' chairman, Andrew Higginson, said, "I am delighted to welcome Rooney to the board. Rooney had the vision at the start of the credit crunch to reinvent Greene King as a branded food based pub retailer. He is a widely admired and successful plc chief executive.

"His experience in retail, in FMCG and in turning around the fortunes of a major retail business, will all be put to good use at Morrisons. With the recent appointments of Irwin Lee, Belinda Richards, Paula Vennells and Neil Davidson, I am also pleased to say that Rooney's appointment completes the process of renewing and rebuilding the board of Morrisons."
