The group said on Monday that Marchant had cooperated with an investigation led by external lawyers, acknowledged his "error of judgement" and accepted that his actions fell below the standards expected by AB Foods.
Paul Marchant, the CEO of Primark, has resigned from his position following what has been described as an "error of judgement." His departure was announced by Associated British Foods (ABF), Primark's parent company, which stated that Marchant's exit was due to a personal matter rather than any issue related to the company's financial performance or integrity. Marchant, who has been with Primark for 30 years and served as CEO since 2021, will be replaced by Kari Sigerson, the current retail director, on an interim basis. The specifics of the "error of judgement" were not detailed in the announcement. Marchant expressed his gratitude for his time at Primark and his commitment to supporting the transition. ABF emphasized that the company's operations and strategic direction would continue unaffected by this change in leadership.
