Nisa appoints ex-Morrisons Convenience Expert as Delivery Lead

Nisa has appointed convenience expert, Brogan Cook as the group's Delivery Lead. She will spearhead the implementation and mobilisation of corporate customer projects, for the wholesale arm of Co-op.

Sitting as part of Katie Secretan’s Retail and Sales leadership team, Brogan brings over a decade of experience in retail leadership and will be instrumental in the delivery of new accounts into Nisa, as the business looks to propel its growth and expansion into new markets.

Most recently, holding the role as Head of Convenience Projects at Morrisons, Brogan was responsible for the transformation and delivery of the strategic wholesale programme which saw her develop and implement new business routes for growth.

Prior to that, she held positions such as wholesale senior operations manager, where she oversaw the programme management of the franchise plan, as well as led new store acquisitions.

Katie Secretan, Director of Sales and Retail, said, “We’re at a pivotal moment for our Coop’s wholesale business, with ambitious growth targets in place, and Brogan’s proven track record in convenience and franchise operations, as well as her strategic leadership will be invaluable as we continue to deliver growth with our partners."

Brogan's appointment reflects Nisa's continued focus on bringing the best of Co-op to trusted partners, and her extensive background in retail programme management makes her wellplaced to lead Nisa’s delivery plans and ensure successful execution across multiple sites.

Brogan Cook said, "I'm excited to be joining Nisa as Delivery Lead during such a dynamic period for the business. I look forward to applying my experience to lead the delivery of new business within the convenience channel, ensuring we deliver a best-in-class service for our retail partners across the UK."

Brogan, who started in role at the beginning of February, joins a recently strengthened Sales and Retail leadership team, including Taranjit Singh Dhillon as Head of Retail, Ian King as Head of Business Development, Lauren Brogden as Head of Sales Engagement, Paul Webster as Head of Partnerships.

The firm also saw the internal promotion of Joy McAleese to Head of Wholesale.
