Spar has formed a project team to spearhead its expansion with the aim of adding 750 shops. The team includes some of Spar's regional "hard-hitters" including AF Blakemore's Elwyn Davis, Ian Connell from Appleby Westward, John Hodgson from James Hall, and Simon Jones and Paul Howells from Capper & Co. The team is headed by Spar's head of retail Steve Blackmore and marketing director Neil Henry. NAAFI divisional director Richard Burton is assisting with national contracts. Blackmore said: "There is a great interest from national organisations wishing to tap Spar's expertise to help them move into convenience retailing." {{NEWS }}
