Brian Boyle joins Scotmid with over 30 years of experience in the retail industry, having held senior leadership positions at Asda, Safeway and Morrisons. Most recently, he spent 18 years at Asda, where he served in several leadership roles, including retail regional director for Central Scotland, central operations director, and asset protection director.
His career in retail began during his school days in a part-time Sunday role at Asda’s old Motherwell store. He said: “I look forward to working closely with the team to build on Scotmid’s rich legacy and continue to provide excellent service to the communities we serve.”
Nick McLaughlin brings two decades of experience in the funeral industry. Prior to joining Scotmid, he was managing director at Fosters Funeral Directors and held several senior positions at Co-op Funeralcare.
Karen Scott, CEO of Scotmid, added: “We’re very pleased to welcome both Brian and Nick to the Scotmid family. Their combined expertise and leadership will be vital as we continue to strengthen our operations in both the retail and funeral sectors. With their appointments, Scotmid is well-positioned for future success and continued growth.”
