Bestway Retail has significantly strengthened its leadership team by appointing three new senior members as part of its strategic growth initiative.
Bestway Retail, a prominent player in the wholesale sector, is poised for accelerated growth with the appointment of three experienced leaders to its senior management team. The company, recognised for operating well-known retail brands such as Best-one, Costcutter, Bargain Booze, and Wine Rack, is bringing back familiar faces with extensive expertise in the industry.
Nick Russell returns to Bestway Retail as the head of symbol, overseeing the independent Best-one and Costcutter estates. Russell’s return is notable, given his previous tenure at Bestway, which ended in 2021 when he left for Morrisons Daily, where he excelled as head of independent franchise and new business.
Similarly, Steve Moore is set to make his return from Parfett’s, where he held the position of head of retail. In his new role, Moore will take charge as regional controller for Costcutter and Best-one in the Midlands and South Wales from January 2025. His leadership is anticipated to drive the teams forward effectively.
Adding to the leadership cadre, Rodney Tucker joins the new business and acquisitions team, focusing on the recruitment of new business in the Southwest and South Wales regions. Previously, Tucker was associated with Spar Appleby Westward in a high-ranking sales director role, where he led the new business function.
Jamie Davison, Bestway Retail Director, remarked on the appointments, expressing the company’s enthusiasm in welcoming back these talents, stating, “We are delighted to welcome back the very talented Nick, Rodney and Steve to their new roles within the business. They bring with them valuable expertise, knowledge and sector understanding that will support our growth plans and the service we offer our valued retailers.” This development underscores Bestway’s commitment to leveraging experienced professionals to spearhead its growth objectives.
These strategic appointments signal Bestway Retail’s ambition to enhance its market position and better serve its retailers.
