Saddened to hear of the death of Sir Ken Morrison. I often saw him getting his hands dirty stacking veg with his staff in my local store. pic.twitter.com/7O1335L53v

Built up a chain, used to refuse to hire non execs, pointing to the 4 checkout assistants he could have instead.

R.I.P.
Once when I interviewed him he couldn't resist turning aside to re-adjust a display of cabbages! Not many of his ilk.. https://t.co/JHjZSa161B

Recall a tale of when Sir Ken filled in for Jack Pleasance as produce buyer. Stores received pallet loads of celery where he'd struck a deal

The late Sir Ken Morrison on management consultants: "If you don't know how to run your own business, it's time to give up, isn't it?"
