Nisa appoints new chief executive
Independent convenience retailer Nisa has appointed Nick Read as its new chief executive.
Due to join Nisa in February, Read was previously group customer service director at Thomas Cook and prior to that was commercial operations director at Vodafone UK. Having also worked with Lloyds Banking Group and Tesco, Read started his retail career with Aldi where his most recent role was purchasing director.
Nisa chairman Christopher Baker said: “Nick’s mix of strategic and operational experience and his strong focus on the customer set him apart. He impressed us as the ideal candidate for the CEO role at Nisa, and I believe his management style, commitment and enthusiasm for the Nisa model will enable him to engage with all stakeholders throughout the business.
“Nick is an experienced leader with a cross-sector understanding of shopper behaviour. His skills and insight will be invaluable to our business as we continue to develop as a retail organisation.”
