Harrods chief Ward to step down as chair of luxury goods group Walpole
The boss of Harrods is to step down next year from the group which represents Britain's luxury goods industry - one of a number of roles he will have relinquished since allegations emerged about years of abuse perpetrated by the Knightsbridge department store's former owner. Sky News has learnt that Michael Ward will hand over the chairmanship of Walpole, whose members include the jeweller Boodles, Fortnum & Mason and Gleneagles, when his term ends in 2025. Mr Ward, who has run Harrods for close to 20 years, stepped back from a role on the board of the Royal Ballet in September, shortly after the scale of Mohamed al Fayed's abuse became apparent.
