Morrison comes under pressure

SUPERMARKET boss Ken Morrison is set to come under intense investor pressure this week amid claims he is delaying the modernisation of the group’s board.

The chairman is said to have been unimpressed by candidates interviewed for four new non-executive posts in a bid to make the board more accountable.

According to reports, chances of the appointments being made at the group’s annual meeting on Thursday are slim - leaving the situation at Morrisons “on a knife edge.”
