First Stop appoints Celine May as BDM as network targets Ireland growth

First Stop has appointed business development manager Celine May to drive the network’s growth across Ireland. A familiar face to many of First Stop Ireland’s partners, May has worked in a number of positions for the brand’s former equity stores for seven years in key account manager and procurement roles. She joins Sarah Gardner, Shaun Sweeney and Nick Salt as First Stop’s UK and Ireland BDMs. They report to national franchise manager Brenden Marais. The new-look team is completed by retail managing director Anton Wessels, who was also appointed in mid-2023.
