Since Terry Leahy became chief executive in 1997, Tesco has taken the lead in Britain and, unlike its domestic competitors, has successfully expanded into other parts of Europe and Asia. To Leahy, “the customer must come first” are words to live by. One day a week, he walks the floor of one of his stores, and is also a regular visitor to those owned by the competition. He takes pride in knowing what the different jobs entail, what consumers are buying and what people want. Highly modest and intensely private, Leahy said to Management Today magazine: “The only personality I believe in is Tesco.”

Leahy has been nominated by Retail Week as Retail Leader of the Year (2008) and Most Outstanding Individual Retailer (1998-2003), voted as Britain’s Most Admired Leader (2005 and 2006) by Management Today, recognized by the Wall Street Journal and CNBC as European Business Leader of the Year (2005) and named European Businessman of the Year by Fortune (2004).
