	The Observer \| Business \| Mammon: Sir Terry Leahy
		Leahy is proud of the group's expansion of its smaller Express outlets, which have opened near run-down housing estates and crumbling high streets.
		Leahy joined Tesco in 1979 as a marketing executive and rose through the ranks, slowly at first, but with increasing speed since the early Nineties when he developed Tesco's Clubcard into one of Britain's biggest marketing success stories.
		Leahy, still young for a company chief at 49, is without doubt the most powerful man in British retail, but his background is far from privileged.

		Sir Terry, who was knighted in 2002, is less keen to talk about himself, however - except in the context of Tesco's business, which has grown under his stewardship to become the third largest grocer in the world after Wal-Mart of the US and Carrefour of France.
		Sir Terry grew up in Liverpool, the third of four brothers and the son of a greyhound trainer who worked as caretaker on the council owned farm where they lived.
		Sir Terry is the sort of man who feels more at home discussing football in a Liverpool pub than among London's glitzy set, and this is the root to his rapport with Tesco's customers and staff.

		WHEN Terry Leahy was 17, he got a summer job stacking shelves at a Tesco supermarket in Wandsworth, south London.
		Leahy also began working on Tesco's loyalty card, quickly realising that the key was getting shoppers to keep coming back to its stores, rather than flirting with its competitors.
		Leahy, 40, passed his 11-plus and went to St Edward's College, a Roman Catholic grammar school in Liverpool, and then to the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology.

		Leahy, 45, who is married to a doctor, Alison, and has three children (mad Everton fans the lot of them), is not one to go gongbusters over his own achievements.
		But it is the five years under Leahy that have put serious lolly in the Tesco trolley, and the roots of success go back to Leahy's appointment to the board a decade ago as marketing director.
		Leahy reinvests the gains in what he calls the "Tesco model", cutting prices to build market share, and spending more than £250m last year on promotions.

		Early this month, Tesco's chief executive Sir Terry Leahy was forced to bow to shareholder pressure and accept that his two year service contract was cut to one year rolling contracts.
		But in the case of Sir Terry, such shareholder activism can easily be seen as ungrateful given his skills at making money on behalf of investors.
		Sir Terry was knighted in 2002, soon after having received the honour of the Freedom of the City of Liverpool which entitles him, amongst other things, to herd his sheep across the city without being arrested.
