Well-known UK business products exec Aidan McDonough is one of two new appointments to the evo board.
After many years at the head of the Integra dealer group, McDonough is now Chair of BLOC, the organisation formed by the merger of Integra and Office Friendly. He is also the long-serving Chair of purchasing organisation BPGI and the Chair of UK trade association BOSS Federation.
“Aidan brings a huge amount of knowledge of the dealer channel, and his appointment reiterates evo’s commitment to this channel going forward,” the group stated in a press release. “Throughout his career, he has championed strategic consolidation, diversification and member-focused innovation.”
Also joining the evo board is Paul Davies, an experienced audit leader with three decades in professional services, including the past ten years as Head of Audit for Yorkshire and the North East at BDO. Over his career, he has specialised in working with large privately owned and private equity-backed groups across a range of sectors, with particular depth in retail and wholesale businesses spanning both B2B and B2C models.
Commenting on the appointments, evo CEO Andrew Gale said: “Both gentlemen will enhance our board. Paul will support our CFO and cover governance and financial matters, while Aidan ensures that the voice of the dealer community will be heard at the evo board table. Both are not shy in coming forward, so I am hoping for some interesting debates around the board table.”
