Gary Cormack has joined Nottingham insurance broker and financial advisory firm The Wilson Organisation, as non-executive Deputy Chairman, working alongside MD Charlotte Perkins and CEO Annabel Prow.

Gary's previous roles include Trading Director for Boots The Chemist, Commercial Director for Superdrug and Chief Executive of Picsolve International Limited. He joins the Wilsons Group Holdings Board, of which John Prow is Chairman, to assist in developing and delivering the firm's ongoing strategy for growth across the UK.

"As a family owned and run business, we recognise the importance and value for the Board and management team of working with non-family members and especially professionals with a different skill set and market expertise," comments Annabel Prow.

"The firm continues to be ambitious and is vigorously focussed on growing strategically, and Gary's experience and knowledge brought from outside the business and our sector, will inject a whole new energy, appetite and dynamic to our approach."

She adds: "Charlotte and I worked with Gary a few years ago, so we are already aware of his wealth of knowledge and expertise, and how he can quickly add value and fresh ideas to strategically growing a business. Gary also already knows the senior team and the business."

Gary Cormack adds: "I am delighted to be joining Wilsons at a time of significant change and opportunity in both the financial services and insurance markets. Wilsons has ambitious plans for growth and I am looking forward to working with the senior team, using my previous commercial and consumer experience to assist in formulating specific plans and activities to meet our goals."
