Tesco chairman John Allan has denied three of four allegations of inappropriate and unprofessional behaviour made by four women
.
He had been accused by women, who contacted The Guardian newspaper, of touching a Tesco senior staff member on the bottom at its June 2022 AGM and touching a staff member at a CBI annual dinner in 2019, when he was president of the organisation. The article also accused him of making inappropriate remarks on those two alleged occasions and also to two female staff members of the CBI business lobby group.
Mr Allan, 74, has accepted he made a comment about a CBI staff member in 2019 that she found offensive. A spokesperson said"Mr Allan was mortified after making the comment in 2019 and he immediately apologised. The person concerned agreed the matter was closed and no further action was taken.""Even so, Mr Allan requested that Tesco and Fox Williams - who were instructed by the CBI to conduct an investigation following various allegations - investigate them."
