Tesco chief executive Ken Murphy receives a total pay and bonus package of £10.8 million for the latest year, according to multiple reports. This represents an increase of more than £1 million compared with £9.8 million in the previous year (2024–25).
The Independent and Retail Gazette say Murphy’s larger remuneration package follows stronger company performance. Retail Gazette links the rise to improved Tesco sales and profit growth, adding that the supermarket group achieves its highest market share in a decade. Another Independent report similarly describes a pay rise after Tesco’s trading results improved.
The Belfast Telegraph report covers the same figures but provides limited additional detail in the text provided. Across the sources, there is agreement on the headline figure (£10.8 million) and the comparison point (£9.8 million previously), as well as the general explanation that Tesco’s improved results contribute to the higher pay outcome.
