In Memory: Dudley Ramsden

On behalf of all Nisa colleagues and retailers, we are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dudley Ramsden, founder of Nisa and Nisa-Today’s.

Dudley was a true pioneer whose vision, passion, and dedication transformed the independent retail sector.

From co-founding Nisa in 1977 to leading it to become one of Europe’s leading buying groups, his impact on the industry was immeasurable.

Under his leadership, Nisa-Today’s grew into a billion-pound organisation, supporting independent retailers across the UK.

Dudley was a true pioneer whose impact on Nisa and independent retailing cannot be overstated.

His drive and commitment created opportunities for so many, and his influence will be felt for generations to come.

Our thoughts are with the Ramsden family and all at Ramsden International at this sad time.
