CJ Lang appoints new finance director and trading director

CJ Lang & Son, the wholesaler for SPAR in Scotland, has strengthened its executive team with two new appointments.

Chris Boyle (pictured) has joined the company as finance director from United Wholesale Scotland where he also held the position of finance director. Before that, he had a variety of finance roles at retailers M&Co and Botterills Convenience Stores.

The second appointment is Della Myers, who will join CJ Lang in June as trading director, replacing Richard Collins who is retiring later this year. Myers was formerly trading director for convenience for Costcutter Supermarkets, which is part of Bestway Retail. Myers started her career at Asda before moving into convenience retailing.

Colin McLean, CEO of CJ Lang & Son, commented: “We are delighted that Chris has joined the executive team and he has settled in well to the role. We’re looking forward to officially welcoming Della to the company in the next few weeks. I’m delighted that they have both chosen to join CJ Lang as we continue on our exciting journey.”
