Morrisons chief executive Marc Bolland received a £760,000 bonus last year, almost 100% of his salary, after leading a turnaround at the grocer.
risons' pre-tax profit soared 66% to £612m for the full year to February 3. Total sales were up 6% to £13bn and like-for-like sales – excluding fuel – rose 4.6%.
Morrisons' sales are understood to have accelerated in the second half of the year, partly driven by a successful ad campaign featuring Lulu, Alan Hansen and Denise Van Outen.
Following Sir Ken Morrison's retirement in March, deputy chairman Sir Ian Gibson succeeded him as non-executive chairman.
