Former Co-op boss was paid almost £2m before leaving after group’s difficult year

Shirine Khoury-Haq and other managers did not receive annual bonus after damaging cyber-attack in 2025

The former boss of the Co-op collected almost £2m before her sudden departure last month despite a difficult year when the retailer was pushed into the red by a damaging cyber hack.

Shirine Khoury-Haq’s total annual pay package amounted to £1.9m in 2025, including a £165,000 “rewarding growth” bonus that was approved by the mutual’s board despite falling sales and the slide to an underlying loss of £125m.
