Tesco board loses two female directors

Supermarket personnel changes continue but departures of Liv Garfield and Jacqueline Tammenoms Bakker raise questions about presence of women in boardroom

Tesco is left with just one woman on its board of directors after non-executives Liv Garfield and Jacqueline Tammenoms Bakker announced plans to step down this weekend.

Garfield said she wanted to focus fully on her new role as chief executive of Severn Trent, the water company, but Tammenoms Bakker, who has been on Tesco’s board for six years, did not give a reason for her departure.
