News UK has revealed that Tracey Hart, Newsprinters Commercial Director of Operations, is expanding her role to take responsibility for all aspects of its retail function.
In her new remit, Hart will integrate the retail function into an end-to-end supply chain operation that will also include wholesale, allocation, and performance. The move also brings News UK’s Retail team closer to Newsprinters’ printing and distribution teams, ensuring the “best service levels across the whole supply chain”.
Hart joined News UK eight years ago and since then has been focused on building new revenues across its print and distribution services, with a laser focus on innovation and effective outcomes. Prior to joining News UK she was Head of Sales & Marketing for the Daily Mail.
She said: “News UK has always seen its retail colleagues as crucial partners in our supply chain. I look forward to working with our valued retailers, understanding their challenges and opportunities, and working together to drive our casual and home-delivered services to ensure newspapers remain in the hands of our millions of readers.”
