In this week’s episode of The Retail Tea Break podcast, I’m joined by a true retail people expert. Maeve McCleane is Chief People Officer & Board Executive for Lidl Ireland and Northern Ireland. She is a passionate, commercially focused and experienced leader with huge expertise leading and developing a range of teams across operational, technical and strategic retail topics.

She has headed up a number of industry-leading initiatives within the retail sector, many of which she talks about in this episode. Maeve discusses growing the business with Lidl’s colleagues, by nurturing and upskilling them and in turn they deliver the service and sales that the business needs. This is a fascinating conversation, full of golden nuggets and thought provoking ideas. So grab your cup of tea, sit back and listen in!
