Man: Next week, Healthway plc, the health and beauty chain, gets a new Chief Executive. Here’s our reporter, Lynne Trencher, to tell us why many people regard the job as one of the most difficult in retailing. Hello, Lynne.
Woman: Hello. No, it isn’t an enviable position. Robert Henlow, Healthway’s new CEO, is taking control of a company which may have been a well-loved and trusted retail brand for many years, but its core business is mature, and successive managements simply haven’t come up with a winning formula to deliver dynamic sales growth. And the shareholders see Henlow as Healthway’s last chance.
Man: The company faces stiff competition, doesn’t it?
Woman: That’s right. In fact, most town-centre health and beauty chains are feeling the pinch, with few planning to expand. Unlike food, it’s a high-margin business, which gives supermarkets, particularly those on out-of-town sites, scope to sell similar products for considerably less. Even the development of online shopping hasn’t yet outweighed the convenience of out-of-town sites.
Man: Robert Henlow is coming from a company with a very different sort of culture from Healthway, isn’t he?
