Sarah Wilson, eXPD8 non-executive and director of consulting operations with Egremont, said:“We are absolutely delighted that Jerry is joining us, his industry knowledge and experience will be invaluable to us.”
eXPD8 co-founder Mark Thurgood said:“We have been very successful in growing our business in non-food categories, and Jerry’s appointment will underpin our expansion into grocery particularly within the convenience sector.”
