National Buying Consortium (NBC) has announced the appointment of Jason Langmead as its new chairman, replacing Stuart Lane.

Fulfilling Langmead’s former group role of vice chairman is David Longfellow, owner of Leeds-based JL Brooks.

Commenting on the appointments, NBC’s managing director David Lunt said: “We must first say a big thank you to Stuart Lane, our inaugural chairman. His leadership has proved to be invaluable in our first year and during extremely difficult trading conditions caused by the pandemic.

“Together with the existing team, we are confident that the board of directors can provide the necessary stewardship for the group and ensure that we continue to offer a forward-thinking and unified wholesale solution to the UK market.”
