September 18, 2018—Uni-Select Inc. announces today the departure of Henry Buckley, the president and chief executive officer of the corporation, effective immediately.
Buckley has also stepped down as a member of the board of directors of the corporation.
André Courville, chair of the board, will assume the interim role of president and CEO of the corporation, and therefore has stepped down as chair and member of all committees.

As a result, some board member roles and responsibilities will change: Michelle Cormier has been nominated chair of the board and has stepped down from her role as chair of the audit committee. Finally, Richard G. Roy has been nominated as chair of the audit committee.
Uni-Select also announces the appointment of Chris Adams as president and COO, FinishMaster, Inc., effective immediately, to replace Steven J. Arndt, who is leaving FinishMaster after more than 25 years of service.
