BusinessTech reports that senior vice president and chief executive officer of Massmart Wholesale, Doug Jones, has announced his departure from the group to take up a job opportunity in Sydney, Australia.

Massmart said in a trading update on Tuesday that Jones will leave his role at the end of December 2021. The leadership of Massmart Wholesale will be handed over to Llewellyn Walters. At the same time, the group said that the Game and Builders chief executives, who previously reported to Walters in his retail role, will report directly to Massmart chief executive, Mitch Slape. Jones’ departure is the second significant executive departure in as many months, with the Clicks Group announcing that its chief executive and executive director Vikesh Ramsunder would also leave at the end of December to take up a chief executive role in Australia.
