Mary Portas to meet Tesco boss
Mary Portas, the TV celebrity retail expert appointed by the government to oversee a review of Britain’s changing high streets, will this week meet with the UK chief executive of Tesco. Portas, best known for her Mary Queen of Shops TV series, will meet with Tesco UK boss Richard Brasher to examine the future of Britain’s struggling high streets. Tesco has become a focal point for public anger over the changing landscape of the high street, as chain stores replace independent shops.
