Tesco chairman John Allan to quit after claims over behaviour
John Allan is stepping down as chairman of Tesco following allegations over his conduct.
Mr Allan, who is also a former president of the CBI business lobby group, has strongly denied three of four claims made against him.
However, Byron Grote , who will temporarily replace Mr Allan as chair, said: " These allegations risk becoming a distraction to Tesco. "
Tesco said it made " no findings of wrongdoing".
A report in The Guardian had claimed that Mr Allan had touched a Tesco employee at the supermarket giant's annual shareholder meeting Last Year .
It also alleged that Mr Allan " grabbed" an employee at a CBI event in 2019. He has previously said these claims are " simply untrue".
It is also claimed that he made a comment about a CBI staff member's dress and bottom in 2021. Mr Allan said he does not recall this incident.
He has, however, admitted to making a comment to a female CBI worker in late 2019 about a dress suiting her figure.
Mr Allan said he was " mortified after making The Comment in 2019" and immediately apologised.
