Paula Nickolds said: 'I'm excited to be joining Sainsbury's. It is a retailer with fantastic heritage that is trusted by customers for its great combination of quality and value. It's an important and dynamic time for the retail sector and I am thrilled to join the team for the next phase of growth and innovation, as well as the opportunity to make a difference to millions of customers' lives through the much-loved Argos, Habitat and Tu brands.'
Paula takes over from Mike Luck as General Merchandise and Clothing Commercial Director. Mike has decided that now is the time to pursue a career outside of Sainsbury's, having joined the Graduate scheme 18 years ago. He will be staying with the business until mid-July to ensure a smooth handover with Paula.
Commenting on Mike's decision to leave Sainsbury's, Simon Roberts added: 'I am really grateful to Mike for leading General Merchandise and Clothing at such a crucial time for the business as we were planning and launching our new strategy. In that time Mike and his team have successfully re-launched Habitat and developed the plan for our next phase of growth, changed our ways of working to deliver a lower cost base across our global commercial team and significantly grown sales in Argos. I would also like to thank him for everything he has achieved over the past 18 years.'
