The boss of the John Lewis Partnership is set to face a confidence vote on her future after criticism of the leadership of the retail giant.
It comes after Dame Sharon White, chairwoman of the business which runs the department store chain and supermarket arm Waitrose, said the group was considering selling a stake.
Dame Sharon has also come under scrutiny after the business said it would not give an annual bonus to staff for only the second time since 1953 and cautioned over potential job cuts in March after falling to a £234 million loss.The group has looked to diversify its operations, such as expanding into rental flats, as part of a radical strategy to return the business to long-term profitability.
The group gathered from Tuesday for a two-day meeting at the Odney Club holiday retreat in Berkshire owned by the business. A two-part vote will then take place on whether the council has confidence in the progress of the partnership under her and then whether it can support her to move the group forward.
