Checkmate is the extraordinary untold story about how the company confronted crisis after crisis, leaning aggressively into sometimes risky cutting-edge technology, and built what is now a near impenetrable digital and physical retail fortress.
Drawing from his own investigation as well as in-depth interviews with the senior management team, award-winning author, Steven Boykey Sidley, dives into the backstories of Xtra Savings, Sixty60, FreshX and the viral marketing campaigns to paint a vivid and colourful picture of corporate resilience and innovation.
