MARTY HAMNETT, who led the integration of Progressive Enterprises with Woolworths Australia when the latter acquired it from Foodland Associated, is to retire.
After overseeing the integration, Hamnett returned to Australia to be general manager of supermarket operations.
Hamnett says he will retire next June – at the end of the chain’s financial year – to move back to Adelaide to be closer to his grandchildren. He says he has no plans to take up any other position.
“In April I’ll pass the 40-year service barrier and I think that’s a pretty good innings,” he says.
