She joined the firm’s board in September 2013, after serving on Tesco’s board as executive director of corporate and legal affairs from 2006 until January 2013.

Neville-Rolfe resigned the 2 Sisters role in accordance with parliamentary rules to resume her career in politics. Before joining Tesco, she was director of the deregulation unit, at the Department of Trade and Industry (now the department of Business Innovation and Skills).

Other roles included working at the Cabinet Office, from 1995 to 1997, and in Prime Minister John Major’s policy unit from 1992 to 1994.
