Parfetts has promoted John O’Neill to the new role of Retail Operations Controller to support its Go Local fascia.
The wholesaler noted that it currently has a network of 50 regional development advisers and four store development managers responsible for helping retailers maximise their profits.
Commenting on the appointment, Guy Swindell, joint Managing Director of Parfetts, said: “John has been with the company for over 17 years. He brings a passion for how we work at Parfetts and puts retailers at the heart of everything he does. As an employee-owned business, it is great to be able to promote key team members from within the business and recognise their commitment and hard work.”
O’Neill will work with the group’s National Sales Controllers – Steve Miller and Joe Tindle – and report directly to its board. Parfetts noted that it was aiming to grow its symbol group to 2,000 retailers.
Meanwhile, Parfetts revealed that its Head of Retail, Steve Moore, will leave the business in January after three and a half years.
NAM Implications:
- The new Retail Operations Controller will combine:
- A continuation of the Parfetts’ customer-centric culture…
- …with a new determination to support its Go Local initiative.
- Worth taking this at face value and adding support…
