Richard Collins appointed head of trading at UK Food & Drink Wholesale

CJ Lang & Son’s former trading director Richard Collins has come out of retirement to take on a new role as head of trading at UK Food & Drink Wholesale.

Part of the Intamarque Group which focuses on the health & beauty sector and is based in Tewkesbury, UK Food & Drink Wholesale currently offers a limited range of products compared to other wholesalers. Collins (pictured) is tasked with developing the company’s wholesale food and drink business across many best-selling UK and international grocery brands.

Admitting that he ‘needed to be active again’, Collins commented: “I have started a new, exciting role. If you’re a supplier and want to discuss how we can help drive your product sales forward then please contact me at richard.collins@intamarque.com. I’d be very pleased to hear from you, arrange to catch up and to put plans in place to successfully develop our mutual business.”

In addition to previously working at CJ Lang, Collins has held senior roles with Ramsden International, Costcutter, and Bells Stores.
