Buying group Confex is restructuring to better support its members after doubling in size and turnover since the Covid-19 pandemic.
The move will see the introduction of two new dedicated divisions: retail and foodservice.
As a result of the restructure, Kirsty Winkel has been appointed to the newly created position of Retail Controller. She will oversee the retail division of the group, while Foodservice Controller Matt Norman will oversee the foodservice and out-of-home division.
Confex boss Tom Gittins commented: “These changes will provide us with a clear and dedicated focus for both our retail and our foodservice members which, in turn, supports our growth plans.
“As our turnover has grown from £1.97bn to £3.46bn in the past four years, we are confident that this change in structure will ready us for future growth and enable us to hit our target of becoming a £4bn buying group by 2027.”
