Richard Carr joins Fiskars as commercial director
 
Richard Carr joined Fiskars this week as commercial director of the UK business.

He joined on 1 September 1st after a brief spell at William Sinclair following several years at Hozelock and prior to that, Spear & Jackson. He reports to the company's regional director for south west Europe, John Grayson.

"We've been industry colleagues for a number of years in differing categories and more recently within the garden and DIY market during Richard's tenure at Hozelock," says Grayson.

"I had an opening in my management team and Richard's knowledge of Fiskars and our recent UK progression presented me with a tremendous opportunity. Combining his experience and reputation in the market with our continued development plans for the UK provides a solution with obvious mutual benefits."

"During the selection process he was the standout candidate, impressing everyone involved, and I'm delighted with the conclusion," says Grayson.

Carr said: " It's a great opportunity for me to further develop my career with a global brand leader and within an industry I know so well."

Carr, Grayson and the Fiskars team look forward to meeting existing and new customers at the Glee (19G56).
