Nisa is reorganising its senior management team in a move designed to better align the convenience group to its four-year growth strategy.
The changes are effective from 1 July and come after the decision by Retail Director Nigel Gray to leave Nisa for a career break after more than five years with the company.
The group’s Sales and Retail teams will now be merged under the leadership of current Sales Director Steve Leach, thereby centralising recruitment, account management and retail operations.
Chief Operating Officer John McNeill will add Format and Development, Marketing and PR, as well as the company’s Making A Difference Locally charity, to his existing duties.
Meanwhile, Martin Rogers will now lead on strategic planning in addition to his core Franchise responsibilities.
Ken Towle, the group’s Chief Executive commented: “We recently celebrated our first-year anniversary of being part of the Co-op family and reflected on our successes to date. However, there is more we can do to realise our strategic vision and this reorganisation will better align our management structure to Nisa’s growth strategy.”
He added: “I have every confidence that John, Steve and Martin have the necessary experience, expertise and drive to successfully build on Nisa’s recent success, and I look forward to working with them in their expanded roles.”
NAM Implications:
- A significant alignment of short and long term thinking across the breadth of the business.
- This has to make for sharper focus…
- …and make easier the NAM role of demonstrating impact on results…
