Landmark Wholesale has announced the appointment of Chris Doyle as its new Business Development Director.

This is a new position for Landmark Wholesale, and has been created to demonstrate its commitment in driving the Group forward as part of its strategy to maintain Landmark’s position as the leading buying group in the UK.

In addition to his director role, Chris will be specifically responsible for Own Brand marketing, the development of Supplier initiatives to drive product sales, new Member recruitment and overseeing the progression of Lifestyle Express and its retail growth plan.

Chris has a wealth of experience in the sector. Prior to joining Landmark he held senior sales and marketing positions with food manufacturers Symington’s, Twinings and Kellogg’s.

It is the second high-profile appointment that Landmark Wholesale has made since the new year, with Stuart Johnson also appointed as Retail Controller. His role is to drive forward the Group’s retail strategy ahead of a major re-launch of its Lifestyle Express retail development programme planned for later this year.

Martin Williams, Managing Director of Landmark Wholesale explained: “Chris is a key appointment in the ongoing strategy and the future progression of Landmark Wholesale. The appointment of a Business Development Director is a positive step for the Group placing more focus on key elements of our core business in Own Brand, Member development and our Retail programme.

“Chris is a high-calibre appointment and his vast experience as a Supplier will give him valuable insight for his new role. Working alongside Stuart and the rest of the Central Office team, we believe Chris will be an asset in bringing to fruition the vision and strategy that Landmark has laid out for the future of its Retail Development programme and the Group in general.”

Chris added: “I look forward to bringing a fresh pair of eyes to the core business elements and making a positive impact for both Landmark Members and Suppliers alike.”
