Richard Brasher, the head of Tesco's UK operations, is to quit the board to avoid stepping on the toes of group Chief Executive Officer, Philip Clarke, who is taking a much greater interest in the UK business since the supermarket group's recent profit warning.
Brasher will leave the company in July once he has effected a smooth transition of the UK business to Clarke.
