Tesco's UK and Ireland chief Richard Brasher has left Britain's largest retailer after group chief executive Philip Clarke said that he wanted to get more involved in the UK operation, telling press yesterday morning that "you can't have two captains". Brasher had only been in charge since March last year and has sat on the board for eight years, previously holding a series of senior executive posts in marketing, commercial and store operations.
