Wal-mart says Asda COO to take over at helm of its British arm
AFX
LONDON (AFX) - Asda, Britain's second-largest grocer, has promoted chief operating officer Andy Bond to take over at its helm one week after his predecessor quit the company.
Asda, the British arm of US giant Wal-Mart Stores Inc, said Bond had been appointed to the role of president with immediate effect.
Bond was appointed COO in September 2004, following four years in charge Asda's highly successful George clothing business, now the country's largest clothing retailer in volume terms.
'We are pleased to have the opportunity to appoint someone from inside the business,' Wal-Mart International's president and chief executive John Menzer said in a press release.
'It is clear to us that Andy is the right person to lead the next phase of Asda's success.'
Asda last week revealed Bond's predecessor, Tony De Nunzio, had quit to join the Netherlands' biggest non-food retail group, Royal Vendex KBB.
Under De Nunzio's stewardship Asda has overtaken J Sainsbury PLC to become Britain's second-largest grocery retailer.
The unit now accounts for almost half of the international sales of Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer.

It will be interesting to see next week how the sp pans out. Will there be alot of profit taking or can people now invest in a company where the sky is definately the limit.

Hi everyone, I'm still here ...and will be for at least the next couple of years if everything goes to plan. And although I don't post often I do try to keep up with everything on this board. I might be a little thick but why is the price going up so much when sells massively outnumber buys by over 2:1 on very high turnover?

There appeared to be a 5m sale at 12.03 today - not sure by the sp if it was really a sell - if it was really a buy then this would change the ratio chelsea?
