Whilst away, he held a variety of posts in the Conservative Party including that of chief of staff ti the British Prime Minister for six years, where his skill as an effective public speaker won him great respect. He then returned to the industry as one of the two architects behind the dramatic revival of the Remco supermarket Chain. His comprehensive and varied experience of the retail food sector will make a huge impact on Unimarket and he has already embarked on an ambitious policy of major acquisitions.	(B) Steven Waugh Chief Executive Officer, DigiCom Steven Waugh, the driving force behind DigiCom for over 25 years, retires this year. Known for his quick decision-making, he is seen as one of the most outspoken and ruthless operators in the world of business. These qualities have often made life difficult for DigiCom competitors, who have regularly been faced with bitter price wars and innovative promotional campaigns, often masterminded by the CEO himself. Born in Queen’sland, Waugh first cut his teeth on Australia’s Channel 9 before entering broadcasting in Britain. Never a great believer in political correctness, he is famous for spending his time abroad his luxury cruiser indulging in gourmet food and champagne.

He has had an unusual career path, including a spell working for the North American Space Agency, followed by a stint running a satellite TV station.	(D) Erik Johanssen Chief Executive, MorgenReynolds MorgenReynolds’ CEO Eric Johanssen admits to crying occasionally and says he is not the tough hard-nosed businessman that people expect when they meet him. He is, however, universally regarded as a shrewd politician within the industry. A self-styled company man, the Chainsmoking 55 year-old Johanssen has been with Morgen for over 20 years. Since Morgen took over the innovative but under-performing Reynolds, Johanssen has streamlined the business radically, axing half of Revnolds’ managers. Johanssen lives modestly in Stockholm and travels to work by underground.

In 1994 he became CEO and President of the group’s Dayton International Hotel division. Anderson has forced on Dayton’s core restaurant and hotel activities and reduced the group’s debts by disposing of several properties and a chain of beauty salons. His next project is likely to be the search for strategic alliances with major European hotel chains.
