July 26 (Reuters) - Australia's Woolworths Group (WOW) said on Tuesday that Chairman Gordon Cairns would retire in October after seven years in the role.
Long-standing non-executive director Scott Perkins will succeed Cairns at the country's largest supermarket chain operator.
Cairns, who gave up a fifth of his board fee when Woolworths faced a wage scandal in 2019, plans to step down after the group's annual general meeting on Oct. 26.
The duo had a similar career move in 2020, when Perkins was elected to succeed Cairns as the chairman of Australia's second-largest power producer, Origin Energy Ltd (ORG) . (https://bit.ly/3PXqYpA)
