Asda’s legal chief quits for Amazon

General counsel and company secretary Alex Simpson has resigned to take up a new role at Amazon – joining the online giant’s UK boss Doug Gurr, who also previously worked at Walmart-owned Asda. In an internal email sent by Asda chief executive Roger Burnley, staff were told a new recruitment process is under way and Mr Simpson leaves on September 12. Asda is now looking at a potential stock market listing instead, with US owners Walmart keen to leave the highly competitive UK grocery scene.
