Mark Aylwin

Unitas Wholesale chairman Mark Aylwin is to step down from the role at the group’s AGM in November after an extension to his term.

Having been elected to the position in March 2021, Mark agreed to remain as chairman beyond his three-year term to oversee Unitas’ strategic development, with a particular focus on supply chain optimisation.

Managing director John Kinney said: “Mark’s expertise and advice through what was perhaps the most challenging few years ever for the wholesale channel have been instrumental in ensuring that Unitas as a group has emerged in great shape, embedding a member-centric culture and delivering a significant increase in member’s earnings, which helped themoutperform the market last year.”

Mark commented: “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time with Unitas, but have decided not to stand for re-election at the AGM. Unitas hosts some of the biggest and best wholesalers in the UK and I’m proud to have been associated with such entrepreneurial businesses, and I wish John and the board, as well as the wider membership, all the very best for the future.”

The new Unitas Chair will be formally announced at the group’s AGM in November 2024.
