Exciting times for ShopAbility! We have again increased bench strength for senior resources to help transform your business with the addition of Geoff Frost and John Day to our Business Regeneration & Strategy team. Both bring decades of senior, CEO & board level FMCG experience to the table.
Geoff Frost
As former CEO of Bartter / Steggles, Geoff headed up the company’s transition from a $35 million company in 1987 to more than $900 million in 2008, implementing business improvement programs to reduce debt by $20 million per annum and restructuring the Sales function to better meet customer needs.
Since 2008, Geoff has been involved in various due diligence roles and has assisted with the evaluation of potential business acquisitions by individuals and equity investors.
John Day
With a reputation for strategic thinking and a realistic approach John has had more than 25 years of General Management and Senior Management experience in blue chip companies such as National Foods, Simplot, Mars Confectionery, Masterfoods, Uncle Bens and Bowater Scott. He has held General Manager roles across a number of functional streams including Sales (all Channels), Marketing, Distribution and International and Domestic Business Development. In addition he was General Manager of National Foods Milk Operation (Victoria) and on the Board of Management with Simplot, heading up the Shelf Stable Division with brands including Leggos, Edgell, and Plumrose.
John’s expertise covers all channels including Grocery, Convenience, General Route, Catering, Institutional, Distributor, Delicatessen and other Foodservice Channels. Whilst he has had many successes and achievements in this time, from a Grocery perspective he led the team which achieved the biggest Housebrand Tender in FMCG, that being the Woolworths National Milk Contract in 2002 for National Foods.
Geoff and John join our core members Peter Huskins (ex Senior Exec & Board levels with Franklins, Millers & Grace Bros) and Margaret Haseltine (ex CEO Mars / Masterfoods) to provide a comprehensive and results-focussed business strategy service for our clients.
