Bodson has been with Argos since the July 2013, three years before  Sainsbury’s acquired its former parent company Home Retail Group year in a £1.4 billion deal.

The acquisition saw Bodson’s role expand from digital director at Argos to a new title that also included marketing and customer experience responsibilities. He also had a seat on the Sainsbury’s Argos board.
