Bond replaces Tony DeNunzio whose departure to join Dutch non-food retailer Vendex was announced a week ago.


Bond was appointed chief operating officer in September 2004 after four years running Asda’s George clothing business. Before that he was director of Asda’s private label food business and marketing director. He joined Asda in 1994.


“ASDA has a deep and strong management team, and an equally strong culture. said John Menzer, president and CEO of Wal-Mart International. “We are pleased to have the opportunity to appoint someone from inside the business.  It is clear to us that Andy is the right person to lead the next phase of ASDA’s success.”
