We’re delighted to welcome Chris Hayward to the Tradeaze advisory board.
Chris served as CEO of for more than 20 years and also held senior industry roles, including President of Euro-Mat. Ready for his next challenge, Chris clearly isn’t ready to step away from the industry just yet - and we’re very glad about that.
NMBS is the UK’s largest buying society for building materials, connecting merchants, manufacturers, and distributors while generating billions in annual revenue.
Few people know this sector as deeply — or are as widely respected — as Chris. Having seen the industry through both its highs and lows, his experience, insight, and network are second to none.
Chris will support Tradeaze with strategic industry expertise and go-to-market guidance, including helping integrate our platform with eCommerce and ERP systems used by leading UK merchants. This will enable merchants to offer truly on-demand delivery through a partner that understands the unique needs of the sector - Tradeaze!
Welcome to the team, Chris — we’re thrilled to have you on board.
