New fresh food boss at Sainsbury’s

Rhian Bartlett has been appointed to Sainsbury’s director of fresh food. With over 25 years’ experience in the retail industry, Bartlett rejoins the UK retail chain from Screwfix, where she worked for two years, most recently as customer and digital director. Prior to Screwfix, she spent nearly three years at eBay. Her first stint at Sainsbury’s, from 2008 to 2015, saw her hold the roles of category manager and head of online merchandising.

Commercial director, Mills-Hicks, said,

“We are delighted to be welcoming Rhian back to Sainsbury’s. She has extensive experience and will be a key member of the commercial leadership team as we further enhance our food business and focus on offering customers quality products at affordable prices.”

Bartlett also stated a pleasure at the reunion.

“It is a fantastic company with talented colleagues and a clear purpose to help customers live well for less. I am really looking forward to working with the teams to deliver a fantastic Christmas for our customers.”
