Irish retailer and wholesaler Musgrave Group has announced that it has appointed Chris Pilling as a new non-executive director to its board.
The company, which operates the SuperValu and Centra chains, appointed Pilling after former non-executive director Brian Flanagan left the company earlier this year, after a four year term.
Wealth Of Experience
Pilling previously served as director of marketing and customer services for UK retailer Asda, chief executive of Yorkshire Building Society, and he also held a number of executive positions with HSBC Bank.
Until March of this year, Pilling was a non-executive director on the board of the Department of Health for the UK Government.
Commenting on the announcement, Peter Lacy, Musgrave Group chairman said, “I am delighted to welcome Chris to the board and look forward to drawing on his insights to further the Musgrave business. Through his previous roles, Chris brings with him a wealth of experience across a broad range of sectors which will undoubtedly be a valuable asset."
