Co-op boss quits after ‘toxic culture’ claims and cyber attack

Shirine Khoury-Haq, new chief executive of Co-op (Co-op/PA) -

The boss of the Co-op Group is to step down from the retail and funerals giant after a turbulent year which included a damaging cyber attack and claims of a “toxic” environment at the business.

Shirine Khoury-Haq’s departure came as the retail group also slid to an underlying loss for the past year after swallowing a £285 million hit to sales from the cyber attack.
