Steve Moore, who also previously worked for Costcutter is rejoining the business from Parfett’s where he was head of retail, leading the sales and support teams.

In his new role, Moore will lead the Midlands and South Wales team from January 2025 as regional controller for Costcutter and Best-one.

Rodney Tucker has also rejoined the organisation in the new business and acquisitions team where he will drive the recruitment of new business in the Southwest and South Wales territories.

Previously, Tucker held regional management positions within both Costcutter and Best-One, and rejoins from Spar Appleby Westward where he was sales director and most recently led the new business function.

Bestway retail director Jamie Davison said: “We are delighted to welcome back the very talented Nick, Rodney and Steve to their new roles within the business. They bring with them valuable expertise, knowledge and sector understanding that will support our growth plans and the service we offer our valued retailers.”
