Allcord Limited announces that Kieron MacKenzie has now left the Company following his earlier decision to resign from the position of Managing Director in order to pursue other opportunities.
Allcord Chairman Hugh Stewart thanked Kieron for his work in helping grow the Company over the last two years and wishes him well for the future.
Mr Stewart, who purchased Allcord from its previous owners in 2012, confirmed that Allcord will continue to invest in the growth of its suppliers’ brands and to provide its customers with quality products and an exceptional level of service. He also announced a series of changes to the company’s management structure.
John Wardlaw, Investment Director of Allcord’s parent company Coralinn Private Equity and an Allcord board member, will take on the role of Interim Managing Director, working closely with the Allcord team to ensure a smooth transition for suppliers and customers until a replacement for Kieron is appointed.
The existing senior management team of Colin Westland (Industrial Safety Products Manager), Andy Moir (Climbing Hardware Brand Manager) and Barry Simpson (Finance Director) and their colleagues will ensure that it is business as usual for Allcord’s customers and suppliers.
Iain Sked from the Coralinn group will join the Allcord team to become Director of Apparel and Operations. Iain has great experience of both the retail and distribution sides of the outdoor sector.
Allcord is also pleased to announce that Rob Marsden has joined the Allcord sales team. Rob was previously Sales Manager for First Ascent Ltd and comes to Allcord with wide range of experience from across the outdoor industry.
