UK supermarket chain Morrisons has appointed Lindsey Tasker as its head of group resourcing.

Previously a judge at the Recruiter Awards for Excellence, sponsored by Eploy, Tasker moves from rival retailer Asda where he was head of learning and development.

Before this he spent two and a half years as group resourcing director for Lloyds Banking Group, and has also spent time in the banking world with Barclays and Halifax previously.

Tasker said: "It’s a really exciting time for the business due to the rapid growth of the convenience store format, as well as the growth of online. The resourcing function will be at the heart of these changes."
