According to the company, Baines has played a “leading role” in the buying group since he joined Nisa/Today’s in 1994.
The company said Baines has been “pivotal in working with the executive in both the 2012 demerger of Nisa Today’s and more recently in 2018 in the merger of Today’s Group and Landmark Wholesale to form Unitas”
