ST. LOUIS – Andrew Nadin has joined the Schnucks team reporting to Chief Operating Officer Anthony Hucker.
Nadin is relocating from the U.K. where, for the past four years, he has been the CEO of the brand marketing firm APN Consultancy.
At Schnucks, Nadin will oversee the advertising, marketing, Omni/multi- channel and customer research aimed at further developing the Schnucks brand. “For me, the brand is founded on the family heritage. The fact that Schnucks was started by a woman, a rarity in those days, looking to feed her family and community, is a unique part of that heritage. Now 75 years later, whilst we are all committed to making the business profitable, we still have the qualities and principles developed by Anna (Schnuck) being continued by third and fourth generations of the family,” Nadin said.
Having worked for his father’s business as well as for family-owned companies Mars Inc. and Aldi, Nadin appreciates the intimacy that can develop between retailers and their customers. “Every single morning when we open our stores we have a new opportunity to become even better at satisfying customer needs and that’s a great position to be in,” he said.
Born and raised in Manchester, England, Nadin graduated with honors from Sheffield Hallam University with a bachelor’s in Modern History. Prior to establishing his own business, Nadin was the marketing director for Jordans Ryvita Company Ltd., manufacturers of branded grocery products sold in 27 countries.
At Mars Inc. Nadin served as European brand director for confectionery, pet food and food products – responsible for developing brand communications and marketing strategy for 13 countries in Western Europe. Prior to that he held management positions at Scottish & Newcastle formerly the U.K.’s biggest brewer and at Aldi.
Founded in St. Louis in 1939, Schnuck Markets, Inc. is celebrating 75 years of serving customers in 2014. The family-owned company operates 98 stores and 93 in-store pharmacies in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Iowa. Follow Schnucks on Facebook at www.facebook.com/Schnucks.
