James Lancaster, McColl’s Group co-founder and Non-Executive Director, has stepped down from the Board with immediate effect.
Wishing Lancaster well for the future, Angus Porter, Chairman of the Board, said: “On behalf of the Board, I want to thank James for his enormous contribution to McColl’s over the years. Under his direction and guidance, he has helped grow McColl’s into one of the largest independent neighbourhood retailers in the UK.”
James Lancaster commented: “I am extremely proud of the business I co-founded over 40 years ago, but it is now the right time for me to stand down. I have every confidence that under the stewardship of the Board, and in the capable hands of Jonathan Miller and his superb management team, McColl’s will continue to thrive. I wish the Group all the best for the future.”
