«Ian's success with the Coles division, which has more than doubled earnings before interest and tax and helped generate
significant shareholder value for the Wesfarmers Group, highlights his credentials as a world class retailer and leader,» Mr Goyder said.
Despite management and a complicit board that has succeeded in

generating significant shareholder value.
