A re-structure at newsagent supplier Menzies Distribution has been welcomed by trade body the NFRN as evidence of commitment to the business.

As part of the changes, a newstrade business unit has been created, with Grant Jordan, current general manager of newstrade, becoming managing director.

NFRN national president Narinder Randhawa said: “We are pleased to hear about this business restructure at Menzies and congratulate Grant Jordan on his promotion.

“Such a move demonstrates that Menzies remains committed to the news industry.

“The NFRN and its members have worked closely with Grant for many years, in his roles at Menzies and also as he is a key figure within the Press Distribution Forum.”

Jordan was a presenter at last year’s NFRN conference.

Menzies’ Distribution chief executive Greg Michael said: “Grant and the team will continue to focus on delivering our newstrade solution for our retail, publisher and distributor partners.”
