Yaxley Returns to Lead Tesco Ireland | Dublin News

Tesco’s leadership is shaking up its executive ranks with a high-profile swap: Andrew Yaxley, who previously ran Tesco Ireland for three years, is returning to helm the Irish operation after nearly a decade away — while Geoff Byrne, his successor in Ireland, moves to lead Booker Group next month. With nearly 25 years at Tesco and deep experience across Ireland, the UK, and even the Czech Republic, Yaxley brings proven success back to his home market. Byrne, who spent 11 years as COO and then CEO of Tesco Ireland, is stepping into Booker’s reins — a role he’ll inherit from Yaxley — bringing fresh energy to the wholesale arm. Group CEO Ken Murphy praised both leaders for their contributions and emphasized Tesco’s commitment to nurturing talent by giving executives cross-functional opportunities. Both men are enthusiastic about their new roles — Yaxley eager to reignite momentum in Ireland, Byrne ready to build on Booker’s foundation — signaling a strategic move to strengthen growth across the business.
