Bestway appointments

Bestway Retail has bolstered its retail team with three senior appointments.

The three appointments are all returning to the Bestway after stints at other retail businesses.

Nick Russell has rejoined the business as head of symbol, and will lead the independent Best-One and Costcutter estates. Russell had worked for Costcutter until 2021 before moving to Morrison’s Daily as head of independent franchise and new business.

Steve Moore is back to lead the Midlands and South Wales team from January 2025 in his new role as regional controller for Costcutter and Best-One. Moore rejoins the business from Parfett’s, where he was head of retail, leading the sales and support teams.

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.

He previously 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 their new business function.

Commenting on the appointments, Jamie Davison, retail director at Bestway, 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.”
