Spar UK has appointed three new directors to the business.
All three are based out of the Central Office in Harrow and start with immediate effect: Trudy Hills has been appointed trading director – grocery; Simon Mitchell has been promoted to trading director - BWS, fresh and frozen and Jamie Seymour has advanced to Spar brand director.
Non-executive chair of the Spar Food Distributors (SFD) board, Nick Bunker welcomed the new appointments. “We are delighted to congratulate Trudy, Simon and Jamie on their promotions, all of which are a reflection of their continued effort and contribution to the Spar Central Office team.”
He added: “We remain focused on working in partnership with our suppliers to deliver strong commercial terms, innovative NPD and compelling promotions to our RDC shareholders, independent Spar retailers and consumers. We are also recognising the increasing importance of the Spar Brand portfolio to our retail propositions and continue to evaluate strategies to further develop our brand.
“Our relentless drive to increase footfall and basket spend for our retailers, to keep prices low for our customers combined with our ability to adapt quickly and bring newness into the convenience sector is resulting in excellent results. Disrupter brands wanting to increase their awareness are looking to us as the route to market and we are excited for year ahead.”
