TitleChief Executive Officer, Kingfisher plc (2019 to 2026); President and Chief Executive Officer designate, Ahold Delhaize

Thierry Dominique Gerard Garnier (born March 1966) is a French retail executive who has been chief executive officer of Kingfisher plc, the London-listed home improvement group that owns B&Q, Screwfix, Castorama and Brico Dépôt, since September 25, 2019. He resigned in May 2026 to become President and Chief Executive Officer of the Dutch-Belgian food retailer Ahold Delhaize, and is due to step down from Kingfisher on December 31, 2026, before taking the top job at Ahold Delhaize on March 3, 2027.[1][2][3]

Garnier trained as an engineer at the École Polytechnique and the École des Mines de Paris and began his career in the French civil service, where he served as a technical adviser to Michel Barnier when Barnier was the minister responsible for European affairs.[4] He moved into retailing in 1997 with Promodès, joined Carrefour in 1999 and spent about two decades in senior Carrefour roles. He ran the Champion supermarket chain in France from 2003 to 2008 and oversaw its rebranding as Carrefour Market, then led Carrefour's international operations before running its business in China and Taiwan from 2012.[5]

At Kingfisher, Garnier succeeded Véronique Laury. In his first weeks he told investors that the group had "not found the right balance between getting the benefits of Group scale and staying close to local markets" and was "trying to do too much at once".[6] His "Powered by Kingfisher" strategy, presented in June 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, gave each retail banner its own positioning and plan while sharing buying, sourcing, technology and own-brand ranges across the group.[7] Under Garnier the group sold its Russian and Romanian businesses, bought and later sold the French services platform NeedHelp, built online marketplaces in each of its regions, expanded its sales to trade customers, and returned capital to shareholders through a series of share buyback programmes.[8]

Garnier was a non-executive director of Tesco from April 30, 2021 to May 6, 2026, resigning the day his move to Ahold Delhaize was announced.[9][10] He was made a Chevalier of the Légion d'honneur in 2016.[11]

Early life and education

Companies House records give Garnier's date of birth as March 1966 and his nationality as French.[9] He holds a master's degree in engineering from the École Polytechnique in Paris and from the École des Mines de Paris.[5] Carrefour's own biography of him describes him as a graduate of both schools.[4]

Career

French civil service (1991 to 1997)

Garnier started his working life in the French civil service. Kingfisher's appointment notice lists his public service from 1991 to 1997, including posts as technical adviser to the minister for European affairs and as deputy director and head of an industrial development department.[5] Carrefour's biography says he began his career at the Ministry of Industry and in 1996 became technical adviser to Michel Barnier, then Minister of State for European Affairs.[4]

Promodès and Carrefour (1997 to 2019)

Garnier left government in 1997 to join the retailer Promodès as a hypermarket director, a role he held until 1999.[5] From 1999 to 2002 Garnier was a regional director for Carrefour, a post its biography describes as hypermarkets regional director in France.[5][4]

Champion and Carrefour Market

In 2003 Garnier was appointed managing director of supermarkets in France, running the Champion chain until 2008.[4] According to the announcement of his Kingfisher appointment, he led the rebranding of the Champion format as Carrefour Market, a fascia that was rolled out to 1,000 supermarkets in France with sales of about €13 billion. In that period Kingfisher said he doubled non-food sales, invested in own-brand ranges, changed the pricing structure and restructured the supply chain.[5]

International operations

In 2008 Garnier joined the Carrefour Group Executive Committee as international executive director, later becoming growth markets executive director. His remit covered Asia, Latin America and several European countries.[5][4]

Carrefour China and Asia

In April 2012 Garnier became executive director for China and Taiwan, and from October 2, 2017 he was executive director for Asia, directly overseeing the operations of Carrefour China.[4] By mid-2019 Kingfisher described him as chief executive of Carrefour Asia and Carrefour China, responsible for more than 350 stores in China and Taiwan with 55,000 employees and gross sales of more than €6 billion. It said he had pursued a strategy built on new digital capabilities, centralised buying, new formats, e-commerce and closer relationships with stakeholders.[5] He remained a member of the Carrefour Group Executive Committee until he left for Kingfisher.[11]

Kingfisher (2019 to 2026)

Appointment

On March 20, 2019 Kingfisher's board began a search for a successor to Véronique Laury, whose group-wide transformation plan had begun in 2016/17.[12] Garnier's appointment was announced on June 27, 2019. The chairman, Andy Cosslett, said Garnier had stood out "from a strong list of candidates" because of his operational experience at a multinational retailer and his "experience in driving leading edge digital innovation, most recently in China".[5] On July 24, 2019 the company confirmed that he would start on September 25, 2019, the day after Laury left the board.[1] Companies House records his appointment as a director of Kingfisher plc on that date.[9]

First months: "focus and fix"

Garnier arrived as the business was struggling with the effects of its transformation. In the first half of 2019/20 sales had fallen 0.9 percent at constant currency, with like-for-like sales down 1.8 percent, and the outgoing management blamed disruption from new range launches and a unified IT platform at B&Q and Castorama France.[13]

His first public statement as chief executive came with the third-quarter trading update on November 20, 2019, which reported like-for-like sales down 3.7 percent. Garnier called trading "disappointing" and said that, after eight weeks of store visits and meetings, his early assessment was that the group was "suffering from organisational complexity" and running too many large initiatives in parallel, which had "distracted the business from focusing on customers". He said the priority was to fix operational problems, especially in IT and the supply chain in France, and to stop or pause several initiatives. In the same statement he announced three senior appointments: Bernard Bot as chief financial officer, Alain Rabec as chief executive of the French business, and John Wartig as chief transformation and development officer.[6]

By the full-year results in June 2020, Garnier said his priorities on joining had been "to build the executive team, stabilise our operational performance and prepare a new plan". The executive team had been completed with eight new appointments, and the group had returned to positive like-for-like sales growth in the fourth quarter of 2019/20.[7]

COVID-19 pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic began about six months into Garnier's tenure. On March 16, 2020 the company reported that all 221 of its Castorama and Brico Dépôt stores in France had closed by government order and its 28 stores in Spain had also closed. Garnier said the group was taking "immediate and significant measures to contain our costs and protect our financial position".[14] Group sales in the first quarter of 2020/21 fell 24 percent at constant currency. Group like-for-like sales were down 74 percent in the first week of April and up 2.7 percent in the first week of May, as e-commerce volumes rose up to fourfold and stores reopened in phases with social distancing measures. The company arranged extra liquidity, including a €600 million term facility guaranteed by the French state and eligibility for the Bank of England's Covid Corporate Financing Facility, and by May 8, 2020 had access to more than £2 billion of liquidity.[15]

Garnier later explained that, although the company was recognised as a retailer of essential goods, it had initially closed its B&Q and Screwfix stores in the UK to in-store browsing so that it could set up safe operating procedures before reopening.[16] The company donated more than £2.5 million of personal protective equipment to frontline health workers in 2020.[7] No final dividend was paid for 2019/20, and no interim dividend for the first half of 2020/21.[7][17]

Demand for home improvement rose sharply once stores reopened. In the first half of 2020/21, e-commerce sales rose 164 percent and reached 19 percent of group sales, against 7 percent a year earlier. Garnier said the crisis had "prompted more people to rediscover their homes and find pleasure in making them better".[17] On December 7, 2020 the board said it would return in full the UK and Irish business rates relief it had received, worth about £130 million in total, having already repaid £23 million received under the UK Government's Job Retention Scheme. Garnier said that, given the resilience of the business, "returning the UK and Irish business rates relief in full is the right thing to do", and noted that the group had hired 3,500 additional colleagues.[16]

"Powered by Kingfisher"

Garnier set out his strategy, "Powered by Kingfisher", with the 2019/20 results on June 17, 2020. He said the "clear intent is to become a more digital and service orientated company, using our strong store assets as a platform", with each retail banner given its own positioning and plan while being "powered" by the group. The plan had eight priorities: a "focus and fix" programme in 2020; a simpler, more balanced local and group operating model; growth in e-commerce; a mobile-first, service-oriented customer experience; differentiation through own exclusive brands; testing new store concepts; buying and sourcing better while reducing costs and inventory; and leading the industry in responsible business practices.[7]

In the 2020/21 financial year, which ended on January 31, 2021, sales rose 6.8 percent at constant currency to £12.3 billion, adjusted pre-tax profit rose 44.4 percent to £786 million, and e-commerce reached 18 percent of sales. The company restarted dividends with a total payout of 8.25 pence per share. Garnier said the business was "coming out of the COVID crisis as a stronger business" and that the reorganisation of its commercial operating model had been completed.[18]

The following year, 2021/22, was the company's best result under Garnier. It reported "a year of record revenue and profits": sales of £13.2 billion, statutory pre-tax profit of about £1 billion and adjusted pre-tax profit of £949 million. B&Q's sales passed £4 billion and Screwfix opened 70 stores in the UK and Ireland. Garnier said execution of the strategy was "ahead of schedule" and announced more investment in e-commerce marketplaces, Screwfix's expansion in the UK and France, new stores in Poland and the trade customer base.[19]

Inflation and slowing demand (2022 to 2025)

As pandemic-era demand faded and consumer finances tightened, profits fell back. In 2022/23 sales slipped 0.7 percent at constant currency and adjusted pre-tax profit fell 20 percent to £758 million, though like-for-like sales were still 15.6 percent above pre-pandemic levels. Garnier said the company had "maintained a sharp focus on pricing to deliver value to our customers during this challenging period for household finances". That year Kingfisher opened its first Screwfix stores in France and set new medium-term financial priorities focused on growth, cash generation and shareholder returns.[20]

Adjusted pre-tax profit fell again in 2023/24, by 25.1 percent to £568 million, as sales in France and Poland weakened. Garnier set an ambition for e-commerce to reach 30 percent of sales, a third of it through marketplaces. He also announced a plan to simplify the French organisation and restructure Castorama France, about a third of whose 95 stores the company judged to be its lowest performers.[21]

In 2024/25 sales fell 0.8 percent at constant currency and adjusted pre-tax profit fell 7 percent to £528 million. Garnier said that "for the first time in over six years, we grew our market share in all key regions", and that the group had removed £120 million of structural costs. He described Kingfisher as being "in its best operational shape for years", while warning that budgets in the UK and France had raised retailers' costs.[22]

Trade, marketplaces and recovery (2025 to 2026)

In 2025/26 adjusted pre-tax profit rose 6 percent to £560 million and statutory pre-tax profit rose 23 percent to £378 million. Trade sales were 30 percent of group revenue, and group marketplace gross merchandise value grew 58 percent to £518 million. B&Q converted eight former Homebase stores within three months of acquiring them and gained sales from the closure of other Homebase stores. Garnier said the group had "continued to execute our strategy at pace", with its UK banners leading growth. The company raised its medium-term ambition for group trade sales to £5 billion.[8]

In the first half of 2026/27, Garnier's last full reporting period, adjusted pre-tax profit rose 9.9 percent to £404 million, marketplace gross merchandise value rose 42 percent to £372 million, and the company raised its full-year profit guidance to between £595 million and £635 million. Garnier said the group was "building a stronger, more resilient Kingfisher".[23]

Resignation and succession

On May 6, 2026 Kingfisher announced that Garnier had resigned "to take up a senior leadership role at another company outside of Kingfisher's markets" and would serve a 12-month notice period. The chair, Claudia Arney, credited him with launching the "Powered by Kingfisher" strategy, leading the company through the pandemic, and driving innovations including the marketplaces and the trade business.[24][25] Ahold Delhaize said the same day that it had hired him as its next chief executive.[26]

On October 13, 2026 Kingfisher named Sebastian Gundel, formerly chief executive of the German home improvement retailer OBI, as its next chief executive from February 1, 2027. It said Garnier would stay in post until December 31, 2026, when he would step down as chief executive and as a director, and that the chief financial officer, Bhavesh Mistry, would be interim chief executive during January 2027. Garnier said: "It has been an honour to lead Kingfisher, and I am proud of what our teams have achieved together."[2][27]

Ahold Delhaize (from 2027)

Ahold Delhaize's supervisory board nominated Garnier in May 2026 to succeed Frans Muller as President and Chief Executive Officer, as part of what the company called a planned succession for 2027. The supervisory board chair, Wiebe Draijer, called him "a seasoned leader with a strong track record in retail, digital transformation, deep international experience". He said Garnier's approach "to finding the right balance between leveraging group capabilities and staying close to local markets aligns well with Ahold Delhaize's identity as a family of great local brands".[26] The wording closely matched Garnier's own assessment of Kingfisher's problems in November 2019.[6]

Shareholders approved his appointment to the management board at an extraordinary general meeting on October 13, 2026, for a four-year term ending at the 2031 annual general meeting. On October 21, 2026 Ahold Delhaize said Garnier would join on January 11, 2027 as an executive vice president and would become President and Chief Executive Officer, and a member of the management board, at close of business on March 3, 2027, when Muller retires. The group says its 17 brands employ 384,000 people and operate more than 9,500 stores in Europe, the United States and Indonesia.[3]

Leadership and management style

Garnier's public statements at Kingfisher return repeatedly to the balance between central scale and local autonomy. In his first trading statement he said the group had not balanced "getting the benefits of Group scale and staying close to local markets", and he responded by stopping or pausing several initiatives.[6] The "Powered by Kingfisher" plan gave each banner its own positioning and plan, while sourcing, technology, own-brand development and data stayed with the group. In 2021 he said the banners were "now empowered and much more agile".[7][18] Ahold Delhaize gave the same quality as a reason for hiring him.[26]

Garnier also put digital channels and services alongside physical stores rather than in place of them. He described stores as a "platform" for e-commerce and introduced store-based fulfilment, click and collect, and marketplaces run by the banners. In 2020/21, click and collect accounted for 78 percent of group e-commerce sales.[7][18] When he bought NeedHelp in 2020 he said: "To serve customers effectively today, we need to be more digital and service orientated, while leveraging our strong store assets."[28]

In the pandemic, Garnier ranked support for communities and governments, duties as an employer, service to customers and long-term protection of the business as the company's priorities. The decision to give back government support, including the business rates relief and the Job Retention Scheme money, was presented in those terms.[15][16] He speaks English, French and Mandarin.[5]

Major deals and strategic decisions

  • Sale of Castorama Russia (2020). On October 1, 2020 Kingfisher completed the sale of Castorama Russia to the Russian chain Maxidom for about RUB 7.4 billion (about £73 million), with 80 percent paid on completion and the rest over two years. All 18 Russian stores left the group.[29][18]
  • Acquisition of NeedHelp (2020). On November 25, 2020 Kingfisher bought NeedHelp, a French online marketplace connecting customers with vetted tradespeople, for about €10 million in cash. Its founder, Guillaume de Kergariou, reinvested in a 20 percent stake, leaving Kingfisher with 80 percent. Garnier presented the deal as a step towards the mobile-first, service-oriented experience in his strategy.[28] The group sold its stake of about 80 percent on July 18, 2024.[22]
  • Screwfix expansion. Screwfix opened a record 82 stores in the UK and Ireland in 2022/23 and launched in France, where it had 30 stores by January 31, 2025. Kingfisher reported a combined loss of £35 million that year for Screwfix France and other small businesses.[20][22]
  • Castorama France restructuring (2024 onward). In March 2024 Garnier announced a plan to rightsize, modernise or otherwise deal with about a third of Castorama's 95 French stores, starting with 13 in 2024/25.[21] By March 2025 the plan had been accelerated to cover 24 low-performing stores by the end of 2025/26.[22] Castorama France opened its first two franchise stores, converted from existing sites, in June 2025.[8]
  • Sale of Brico Dépôt Romania (2024 to 2025). On December 18, 2024 Kingfisher agreed to sell its 31 Romanian stores to Altex Romania for an enterprise value of €70 million. The business had recorded a retail loss of £18 million in 2023/24. Garnier said the sale would allow "greater strategic focus on markets and growth initiatives where we are most strongly positioned".[30] The sale was completed on May 2, 2025.[31]
  • Marketplaces and trade. Kingfisher launched e-commerce marketplaces in the UK and Iberia in 2022/23 and had them live in all regions by 2025/26, when B&Q's marketplace listed 3.7 million products.[20][8] Trade sales rose from 27 percent to 30 percent of group revenue in 2025/26.[8]
  • Share buybacks. Under Garnier the company ran repeated £300 million share buyback programmes, including programmes under way in 2022 and 2024, one announced in March 2025 and completed on March 5, 2026, and another begun in March 2026.[19][21][8]

Financial and market performance

Kingfisher's financial years end on or around January 31. The table below sets out headline figures reported by the company for each full year of Garnier's tenure.

Financial year Sales Adjusted pre-tax profit Statutory pre-tax profit Total dividend per share
2019/20 £11,513 million £544 million £103 million 3.33p[7]
2020/21 £12,343 million £786 million £756 million 8.25p[18]
2021/22 £13,183 million £949 million £1,007 million 12.40p[19]
2022/23 £13,059 million £758 million £611 million 12.40p[20]
2023/24 £12,980 million £568 million £475 million 12.40p[21]
2024/25 £12,784 million £528 million £307 million 12.40p[22]
2025/26 £12,945 million £560 million £378 million 12.40p[8]

The figures show a pandemic-driven peak in 2021/22, followed by three years of falling profit and then a partial recovery. E-commerce rose from 7.9 percent of sales in 2019/20 to 21 percent in 2025/26.[20][8] The workforce went from about 77,000 when the search for Garnier began in March 2019, to about 80,000 in 2021, to about 74,000 by May 2025 after the Romanian sale.[12][18][31]

The share price rose 0.5 percent to 282.30 pence on the day Garnier's resignation was announced.[26] On October 13, 2026, when his successor was named, the shares were trading 1 percent higher at 322.40 pence, giving a market capitalisation of £5.32 billion.[27]

Remuneration

When he joined, Garnier's base salary was set at £800,000, with a pension allowance of 12.5 percent of salary, an annual bonus of up to 80 percent of salary, and awards under the company's Alignment Share and Delivering Value Incentive long-term plans. He was required to hold shares worth 350 percent of salary, a requirement that also applies for two years after he leaves. He also received relocation benefits for his move from China and awards to compensate for incentives he gave up at Carrefour.[1] According to City AM, citing the company's annual report, his pay for the year to January 31, 2025 was almost £2.3 million, down from nearly £6 million the year before, when it had included almost £4 million from the Delivering Value Incentive. His base salary over that period rose from £875,500 to £911,900.[32] Kingfisher said his pay on leaving would follow its directors' remuneration policy and incentive plan rules.[24]

Board memberships and outside roles

  • Tesco PLC: non-executive director from April 30, 2021 to May 6, 2026. He resigned with immediate effect on the day his move to Ahold Delhaize was announced.[9][10]
  • EDRA/GHIN (European DIY Retail Association and Global Home Improvement Network): former board member, including three years as president.[11]
  • Carrefour Group Executive Committee: member from 2008 to 2019.[5]

Kingfisher's leadership page listed no external appointments for him as of November 2026.[11]

Public positions

Garnier has used his role to lobby on UK retail taxation. In an opinion piece in City AM published on October 14, 2026, before the UK Budget, he urged the Chancellor, John Healey, to reform business rates and "take shops out of paying the higher rate". He argued that the system should "level the playing field between bricks and mortar shops and online-only operators", and wrote that Kingfisher's continued work experience placements for young people not in employment, education or training depended on "what the Chancellor decides in this Budget".[33] City AM reported this as a warning that the company might cut that support if taxes rose.[34] In March 2025 he had cited recent government budgets in the UK and France as having "raised costs for retailers".[22]

Personal life

Garnier moved from China to the United Kingdom in 2019 to take up the Kingfisher post, which was based at the company's London headquarters.[5][1] Companies House lists the United Kingdom as his country of residence.[9] He speaks French, English and Mandarin.[5]
