McColl’s has also announced that its chief commercial officer, Richard Crampton, will be appointed to its board on 1 June. Crampton joined the business in the newly created role in September last year.

Giles brings with him strong financial stewardship, Richard’s is a well-deserved appointment having already made a significant contribution to the business, and Benedict has in-depth retail industry knowledge and expertise that we will greatly benefit from.”
