David Lamb, Trading Director at CJ Lang, retires from the company today (30 April).
After a long and successful career with Wm Low Supermarkets, Lamb joined CJ Lang in 1995 where he gained experience in the Convenience, Cash & Carry and Foodservices sectors.
A long-term Executive Board member, he made a significant contribution to trading both at CJ Lang and as a member of the Spar UK national trading committee.
CJ Lang boss Colin McLean said: “Over the years David has made a significant contribution to the Board and has helped steer the direction of the business. In the two years since I’ve joined Spar Scotland, David has been a huge asset in sharing his wealth of experience in wholesale trading with CJ Lang and Spar UK.
“On behalf of the Shareholders and the Board of CJ Lang, I would like to thank David for his loyalty, dedication and commitment over the last 25 years. He is a well-respected and regarded Trading Director within wholesale and convenience and I wish him well in his retirement, it’s richly deserved.”
Richard Collins will take over the Trading Director position from 1 May. Collins joined CJ Lang in January from HubPix and previously held senior trading roles with Ramsden International and Costcutter Supermarkets Group.
David Lamb commented: “I am very proud of the role I have played alongside CJ Lang colleagues and Independent customers in building the success of Spar in Scotland. Now though, I’m looking forward to enjoying more time with my wife and family.”
