Long-serving Home Retail Group chief executive Terry Duddy has announced today (September 4th) that he will be stepping down from the position.
Having been appointed chief executive of Argos Retail Group in 2000, he also took the position in 2006 when it was renamed Home Retail Group.

He will now be charged with leading the search for a replacement for Mr Duddy to take over as the new chief executive of the firm, which is one of the UK's biggest retail companies.
