> Lord Maclaurin, chairman from 1985-1997, is behind
> the Tesco we know today Tesco, the UK supermarket
> chain that has announced annual profits of more than
> ¦£1bn, started life as a one-man business in London's
> East End. The company's founder was Jack Cohen, son
> of a Polish Jewish tailor, who in 1919 began selling groceries at
> knockdown prices from a market stall. He is said to have adopted the
> name Tesco for his business in the 1920s after taking on a bulk
> consignment of unmarked tea. The first three letters
> of the name came from TE Stockwell - the name of the
> tea supplier he took over - while the final two were
> the first letters of his own surname. 'Pile it high,
> sell it cheap' Sir Jack - as he later became - was
> known for a "pile it high, sell it cheap"
> philosophy, which didn't change as the company grew.
> He was also dismissive of advertising, saying it
> cost too much. Under Sir Jack, Tesco expanded
> enormously. It was a close-knit organisation, with
> many of the company's top executives related to each
> other by blood or marriage. But according to company
> historians, board meetings could be fractious
> affairs. One later chairman - Lord Maclaurin -
> criticised Sir Jack in his memoirs for an autocratic
> management style and compared board meetings to
> meetings of the Chicago Mafia with Sir Jack in the
> role of Godfather. Upmarket move By the late 1970s,
> Tesco was the UK's number two supermarket chain
> after Sainsbury's. Under then managing director Ian
> Maclaurin, the store pursued an aggressive
> price-cutting strategy, which reduced profit margins
> but achieved the aim of increasing market share.
> During this period, own-brand goods became more
> widely available and popular as a cheaper option for
> price-conscious shoppers. It was only during Lord
> Maclaurin's final years at the company - he was
> chairman from 1985-1997, having joined in 1959 as
> one of Tesco's first management trainees - that
> Tesco began to threaten Sainsbury's by moving
> upmarket. Since the mid-1990s, the chain has set up
> stores in more prestigious locations and added to
> its shelves goods more appealing to the wealthier
> consumer while not forgetting the need to compete on
> price. Success online Among other innovations, it
> set up Tesco Express, combining convenience stores
> and petrol retailing, Tesco Metro, the small, urban
> stores and a small number of much larger stores on
> the hypermarket model including its flagship Tesco
> Kensington store. While the general trend has been
> for supermarkets to relocate to out-of-town
> locations, Tesco Kensington - on an urban site - was
> one of the first supermarket developments that
> included low-cost housing. In the past five years,
> Tesco has also moved into financial services,
> through an arrangement with Royal Bank of Scotland,
> and has one of Europe's most successful online
> retailing businesses. Its latest results indicate
> Tesco is one of the UK's few retailers to have made
> a success of international expansion as well, with a
> string of stores throughout Europe and others in
> Thailand, South Korea and Taiwan reporting
> substantial sales and profit increases. Today, Tesco
> employs more than 240,000 people worldwide and has
> almost 1,000 stores, including 68 outside the UK.
> The company ranks 111 in the Fortune Global 500 list
> of the world's biggest companies.
