A WEEK after Morrisons announced boss Dalton Philips would be leaving, it has emerged that another key figure at the Bradford-based supermarket is departing the company.

Simon Thompson, managing director of Morrisons online food delivery operation, Morrisons.com, who oversaw the launch of the online service 12 months ago, will leave at the end of the month. He joined Morrisons in 2011 from Apple.

Overall responsibility for Morrisons home delivery operation will be transferred to Nick Collard, group marketing and digital director.
