Walls steps down at Albert Fisher

STEPHEN WALLS (left) is to step down as non-executive chairman of the Albert Fisher food group at the end of the company's financial year in August, ending a tenure characterised by a series of profits warnings and dramatic share underperformance. Mr Walls handed over responsibility for operations to Neil England, chief executive in early 1997 and became non-executive chairman earlier this year. The company said it is currently in the process of recruiting a new non-executive chairman.
