Andy Bond (businessman)

Andrew James Bond (born 16 March 1965) is a former chief executive officer of Asda having resigned in April 2010.

In 1988, he worked for Manchester-based Hopkinsons Group, one of British Gas's suppliers, as a marketing manager.

He began at ASDA as a marketing manager for Archie Norman, when aged 29 in April 1994, having been top of his course at Cranfield.

In November 2000, he headed the George clothing brand of ASDA (worth about £1bn a year on its own in the UK, and based near Lutterworth), working with designer Kate Bostock, after the potentially-damaging departure of George Davies.

He became chief operating officer of ASDA in September 2004, then CEO in March 2005, resigning this position in April 2010.
