Roger Corbett has declined to comment on a push by Woolworths shareholders for him to take up the role of chairman. Corbett was CEO from 1999 to 2006, and he has worked in the retail sector for more than four decades. Some shareholders argue that Corbett’s expertise is needed to turn around Woolworths’ flagging performance. Wesfarmers recently announced that former CEO Michael Chaney will become chairman later in 2015.
