Atheon Consulting Ltd is pleased to announce the appointment of Ian Hall as Retail Consultant. Ian joins the Atheon team with a recent background in commercial retail consulting, including extensive expertise in parallel trade, own-label sourcing and commercial negotiation (branded and own-label).

Ian developed his retail experience and skills at Tesco, where he worked in various commercial roles culminating as a Senior Buyer with responsibility across health & beauty, household and other non-food categories. Ian was part of the team that defined and evolved the Tesco parallel trade process, and was an intrinsic part of the e-tender / e-auction programme that Tesco initiated in 2001. He has since worked in various consultative and executive roles with retail and wholesale specialists, including Thresher and many of the leading wholesale companies across Europe.

Guy Cuthbert, Managing Director, said "Ian's appointment further strengthens our retail practice, and his experience in all aspects of parallel trade and sourcing enhances our recognised strengths in commercial retail analysis and execution. We're glad to welcome him to the business and know our customers will benefit from his insight, experience and commercial acumen."
