Following this, Alain worked as a Buying Manager in the Dairy Category before being promoted to the positions of Category Manager for Dairy, and then Produce.
BWS Category Director Dan Jago commented “Alain’s broad commercial experience will bring valued skills to the wine team. We look forward to welcoming him and working together to continue to bring excitement, quality and value for money to our customers in the wine aisle.”
