CIH Announces Appointment of New Chairman

Combined Independents (Holdings) Ltd (CIH), an electrical buying group, part of Euronics, Europe’s largest electrical buying group, has announced the appointment of a new Chairman, Steve Scogings.

Steve Scogings succeeds Robin Millwood who was Chairman for 12 years. Steve was Deputy Chairman of CIH for the last two years and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience of the independent electrical retail channel with 28 years with the electrical retail chain, Stellisons Electrical.

Stuart Cook, Chief Executive Officer, CIH says: “Robin has been an excellent Chairman providing effective leadership, encouraging healthy debate and directing the board to conclusions for the good of CIH and the industry. Robin has done an excellent job and we thank him for his sterling work and dedication.
