Former M&S executive Laura Wade-Gery joins John Lewis board

Laura Wade-Gery, a former senior director of Marks & Spencer , has joined rival British retailer the John Lewis Partnership, it said on Friday.

Wade-Gery was executive director, multi-channel, at M&S but went on maternity leave in August 2015 and did not return. She officially left M&S in September last year after five years at the firm.

She has also worked for Tesco , Britain's biggest retailer.

"She​ ​will​ ​build​ ​on​ ​the​ ​strength​ ​and​ ​depth​ ​of​ ​the​ ​John​ ​Lewis​ ​Partnership​ ​board," said Chairman Charlie Mayfield.
John Lewis owns the department store chain of the same name and upmarket supermarket Waitrose.
