Sainsbury's announces today the appointment of Dror Nativ who joins from Spar where he worked as Wine Trading Manager.
Dror will join Sainsbury's on 30 August and bring the number of external buyers joining the Wine team to three. Dror replaces Daniel Bracegirdle as Buyer for Australia, New Zealand and Wine Formats. Daniel has been promoted internally to a buying role within the fresh meat category.
Category Manager Justin James comments: "Dror is the latest recruit to our team, following Julie Buckley from Oddbins and David Peek from Waverley. It is great to have someone of Dror's calibre, he has a wealth of trading experience and was recently shortlisted for the Young Achiever of the Year Award at the Drinks Business Awards 2010.""The arrival of David, Julie and Dror will put us in a great place to continue with the evolution of our wine plans; each has worked in different areas of the drinks industry and will be able to contribute a fresh perspective and build on the ideas of the existing core team of Julian Dyer and Michelle Smith."
