Tesco chairman John Allan to quit after claims over behaviour
John Allan is stepping down as chairman of Tesco following allegations over his conduct. Mr Allan, who is also a former president of the CBI business lobby group, has strongly denied three of four claims made against him. Byron Grote, who will temporarily replace Mr Allan as chair, said: "These allegations risk becoming a distraction to Tesco." A report in the Guardian had claimed that Mr Allan had touched a Tesco employee at the supermarket giant's annual shareholder meeting last year. Mr Allan said he was "Mortified after making the comment in 2019" and immediately apologised.
