Former chairman and managing director of John Players & Sons Liam Peters has been appointed as Gala Retail Services' executive chairman.
Gala is Ireland's fastest growing symbol group with over 220 stores across Ireland and projected retail sales in excess of 675 million in 2007.
Peters will work closely with UCC graduate Gary Desmond, who has been appointed chief executive of the group, having held the position of national sales.
The main focus is the enhancement of store standards, as it is believed this leads to heightened levels of customer satisfaction.
A&L Goodbody has appointed Brian Montague as chief executive officer of the firm.
Montague joins the firm from eircom, where he spent the last five years as group human resources director.
