Peter Agnefjäll says ‘JD has built a powerful global position in sports and sport-inspired fashion’

A former CEO of Ikea has been appointed as the new chair of the board at JD Sports.

Peter Agnefjäll will join the Greater Manchester-based sportswear giant from September 1 and will succeed Darren Shapland, interim chair at JD Sports since July 21.

Mr Agnefjäll spent almost two decades at Ikea Group and was President and CEO between 2013 and 2017, where he oversaw a period of growth and digital development. He has since been chair of Ahold Delhaize from 2021 to 2025, is a non-executive director of WPP, and has previously had non-executive roles at Deichmann and Wizz Air.

His appointment follows a search process lead by senior independent director Kath Smith and the JD Sports board, backed by an external executive search firm.

Darren Shapland, who will stay on the JD Sports board as an independent director, said: “On behalf of the board I am delighted to welcome Peter as chair. He brings an exceptional combination of international retail leadership, board experience and a proven track record of overseeing growth and transformation in complex global businesses.

“His experience and perspective will be invaluable to JD’s board and executive team as the group continues to execute against its strategic objectives and capitalise on the significant opportunities ahead.”

Peter Agnefjäll, chair elect, said: “JD has built a powerful global position in sports and sport-inspired fashion, with a unique connection to its core customer, strong brand partnerships, carefully curated and vibrant stores, and a clear, defined omni-channel strategy.

“I am excited to be joining the group and look forward to working with the board and leadership team to leverage JD’s strengths, deepening its roots in international markets and affirming its position in a rapidly evolving retail landscape.”

Restrictions currently apply to seven retailers

Aldi and Lidl ought to be subject to the same land agreement regulations as Britain’s biggest supermarket chains, the UK’s competition watchdog has said in provisional findings.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) proposal would prevent the German discount retailers from obstructing rival supermarkets from setting up near their stores.

Rules designed to stop large grocery retailers from using land agreements to make it harder for rival supermarkets to open nearby, particularly through restrictive covenants and exclusivity arrangements, were introduced in 2010.

The restrictions currently apply to seven retailers – Asda, Co‐op, Marks and Spencer, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Waitrose.

In a provisional decision, the CMA said it believes Aldi, Lidl GB and Lidl NI should also be subject to the rules.

Aldi is the UK’s fourth largest grocer, with a 10.8% share of the market, and Lidl the sixth largest with an 8.8% share, according to recent figures from Worldpanel.

Both retailers have expanded rapidly through new store openings in recent years, while also drawing in fresh customers with their competitive discount pricing.

The regulator noted that the brands were not originally included in the rules owing to their more limited product ranges, but stated they should now fall under the restrictions following significant expansion of their store estates and the opening of larger outlets.

The CMA has confirmed it is seeking further views before reaching a final decision. Juliette Enser, executive director of competition enforcement and markets at the CMA, said: “We want everyone to have the best choice of supermarket and range of prices when buying their groceries.

“To ensure this happens, we put rules in place to prevent big supermarket chains blocking rival stores from opening nearby – and now we propose applying those rules to Aldi and Lidl too.”

An Aldi spokesman said: “The CMA’s provisional decision does not impact our long-term growth plans across the UK.

“We remain firmly committed to opening hundreds of new stores across the country, bringing Aldi’s unbeatable value and award-winning quality to even more customers.”

A Lidl spokesman said: “We note the CMA’s provisional decision regarding our status under the Controlled Land Order.

“As a discounter, we have always welcomed and embraced competition within the market and our focus remains on continuing to open new stores and bringing our high-quality, lowest-priced groceries to even more communities. Any outcome will not impact our steadfast momentum and growth.”
