Neville Moore, MD of Ulster Stores, has stepped down as chair of Associated Independent Stores' (AIS) board, and has been replaced by Aldiss' MD, Darryl Simpson (pictured).
AIS expressed its gratitude to Neville for his "exceptional leadership and dedication" to the independent retail group.
Under Neville's leadership, AIS hosted its first in-person conference since the pandemic. His dedication to member engagement was further exemplified by his recent co-ordination and hosting of the Northern Ireland Regional Meeting.
AIS MD Sue Kemp says: "We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Neville for his unwavering support and his significant contributions to AIS. His leadership and guidance have been instrumental in shaping the organisation's future. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours."
With a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of the independent retail sector, Darryl is well positioned to support AIS in his new role.
Darryl comments: "I am honoured to take on the role of chair of AIS. I am committed to building on the strong foundation laid by my predecessors and to ensure that AIS continues to provide exceptional value and support to its members. We will focus on future-proofing the organisation, leveraging technology, and strengthening relationships between members and suppliers."
