Talking Retail Grocery and product news for independent retailers
The move came after Wilson, who retired from his role at Tesco in February this year, acquired a 10% stake in the news wholesaler.
The NFRN has welcomed the news. National president, Stuart Reddish, said: “This is a hugely positive move. Charles has been a good friend of independent retailers and on behalf of the NFRN, I very much welcome his appointment to the Menzies board.
“Charles is extremely well respected within the independent retail sector and will bring with him a wealth of retail experience and expertise. At Booker, his ethos was always about the customer, seeing retailers as individuals rather than numbers. We hope he will bring some fresh thinking and a pro-active approach towards addressing the issues faced by independent news retailers.”
