The group announced today [8 January] that current CEO Matt Davies has resigned to take up the position of UK and Republic of Ireland CEO at Tesco. He will remain at Halfords until the end of May.

A spokesperson for Halfords told Recruiter the firm will go through the “usual process” to appoint a new CEO.

She said: “The board will lead the process as usual.

“They will probably work with another company on doing that but there is no decision yet made on who that company will be,” she added.
