Jim Cane, who joined Young’s in early 2000, will retire early next year after around 35 years in the UK grocery industry.
Cane played a “leading role” in the development of Young’s and the establishment of Foodvest, Young’s parent company.
Foodvest chief executive Per Harkjaer Foodvest, said: “[Jim] has made a major contribution to the business. I have been aware for some time of his wish to step down when the time is right and I fully understand his decision. The search is currently underway for Jim’s successor.”
Cane added: “I made the decision some time ago to retire when the opportunity arose and the recent acquisition of the business by Lion Capital has provided a natural window for me to hand over the reins.”
