Tesco Development Team Suffers Further Exodus

According to Building magazine, Tesco has suffered a further loss of senior personnel from its Development team - in February we covered an article in the magazine that reported on the departure of Tony Vasishta, then Tesco's development director.

The magazine now reports that up to a quarter of the department’s posts are now vacant, and quotes 'a source close to the department' as saying,

“They’re going to be in trouble. They have an enormous programme to deliver next year and they’re going to have difficulty doing it without the staff.”

Perhaps this goes some way to explaining Tesco's repeated delays in St Albans and perceived lack of communication with local people for months at a time. Maybe it should cut back a bit on new developments for while as it seems to be working on dozens at the same time?
