Thierry Garnier, the chief executive of Kingfisher—the UK retailer that owns B&Q and Screwfix—is leaving the company after seven years in the role, according to multiple reports. The outlets say Garnier’s departure follows a decision to take up a new position at a Netherlands-based supermarket group. The sources indicate that Garnier joined Kingfisher as chief executive and has led the business through the period that includes the Covid-19 pandemic and its impact on retail operations. Details reported across the articles focus on the timing of his exit after his seven-year tenure and the fact that he is moving to a European supermarket employer rather than remaining within the same sector in the UK. While the reports state that Garnier is quitting his post at Kingfisher, they do not provide further information in the supplied text about his successor, the timing of the leadership change, or the company’s immediate plans for governance following his departure.
