Shaw joins the group from Glen Dimplex Consumer Appliances Europe where he was finance director for seven years. Before that, he held finance director positions at several businesses including Roberts Radio and Morphy Richards.

His appointment at Unitas completes the reconfigured executive team alongside retail director Victoria Lockie who joined the group last month, managing director John Kinney and trading director Cheryl Hope.

In his new role, Shaw will oversee key aspects of the Unitas ‘fitter, faster, fairer’ strategy. This includes the integration of a new finance portal and central invoicing system, which is designed to simplify the invoicing process for suppliers and improve the speed and accuracy of payments for members.

Kinney commented: “We are very pleased to be able to bring Nick’s experience and expertise into our central support team. He brings a new perspective to the role and, along with Vicky, he will be a huge asset in our journey towards a fitter, faster, fairer service for members and suppliers.”
