An ex-Chair of the Association of Convenience Stores, representing 35,000 stores, Mr Turton has 35 years experience in wholesale and retail, most notably as CEO of Nisa Retail.

Neil Turton added: “Being a Non-Executive Director can mean many things. In this case, it's about working with Andrew and his executive team to make sure we have the right industry visibility, profile, networks, supplier relationships, external partnerships and innovation.   

"We will be working hard to ensure that, faced with rising costs of living on the Channel Islands like everywhere else, we offer the best proposition to our customers in both Jersey and Guernsey and develop a future-proof strategy.”
