Retailer Woolworths on Tuesday, 6 September 2011, announced the resignation of group director corporate governance and group secretary, Cherrie Lowe, with effect from 21 March 2012.
"Cherrie has been with the group for 15 years and has decided to take a break from the corporate environment to pursue other interests and opportunities.
"As Cherrie will be with the group for another six months this will allow us adequate time to recruit a replacement and facilitate a smooth transition in this key role. We will start the selection process immediately and hope to announce a successor shortly," the group said in a statement.
