NFRN to appoint chief executive

The National Federation of Retail Newsagents is to recruit a chief executive as part of its plans to continue the progress of the organisation.

National president Parminder Singh says, “The appointment of a chief executive will help us build on the NFRN’s achievements and shape the next stage of our development. The organisation faces both challenges and opportunities and we believe the time is now right to further strengthen our management team.

“The new chief executive will work closely with our existing managers and with the National Executive Committee and National Council, to ensure the Federation continues to provide a unique and developing package of support and practical help for our independent news and convenience retailer members and maintains our role as a leader in our industry.” It is hoped that the new chief executive will be in place later this summer.
