GUS poaches Duddy to be chief
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.GREAT UNIVERSAL Stores, which swallowed up the high street catalogue chain Argos in a pounds 1.9bn bid earlier this year, has poached Terry Duddy (left) from PC World, an offshoot of Dixons, to head up the operation.
Mr Duddy, 42, will come in as chief executive with main board responsibilities, plugging the gap left by Stuart Rose.
Mr Rose, who won plaudits for his handling of Argos's defence, quit in May. Mr Duddy, the managing director of PC World since January 1995, is credited with having engineered a dramatic expansion in the operation. GUS wants to push Argos upmarket.
