Ocado says it is “regularly engaging with potential candidates” as it looks to appoint a successor to Tim Steiner, one of the business’s founders who has led the company since its launch in 2000. The statement follows reports that the company is preparing to name a replacement for Steiner. The coverage indicates the search for succession is not a one-off process, but involves ongoing engagement with potential candidates. It also frames the move as part of the company’s forward planning, rather than an immediate change already made. The sources do not agree on further details such as the timing of any appointment, the criteria for candidates, or whether Steiner plans to step down at a specific date. Overall, the information presented centers on Ocado’s confirmation of active candidate engagement for a future leadership transition tied to Steiner’s role, with additional specifics remaining unclear in the reporting.
