Mros was appointed as the head of the discounter’s UK division in late 2009 after he stepped down from his role as managing director of its German division following a spying scandal.

Lidl was accused of keeping detailed notes on the health of its employees in Germany and came barely a year after it was found guilty of hiring private detectives and using hidden cameras to monitor staff.
