Instore, Compass Group UK & Ireland’s specialist provider of restaurant and café food services for high street retailers, has appointed a new director of business development.
Russell Scanlon (pictured) joins Instore from a four-year post as sales and marketing director at Lexington Catering.
In the newly created position, Russell will assume responsibility for client sales and marketing within the Instore business, which itself forms part of Compass’s business-and- industry division, Eurest.
According to Andy Barry, Eurest’s managing director, the appointment reflects Instore’s drive for expansion as it ventures into new markets: ‘Russell’s appointment will help us build on Instore’s recent successes, including a new contract to introduce coffee shops to 30 Homebase stores around the UK, and a national award for its offer at Tesco,’ he said.
