Graham Smith is to retire as chief executive officer of pet food manufacturer Fish4Pets in December this year, the company has announced.
His successor, Sarah Fowler, has taken over the role of ceo and will be supported by Smith, managing specific regions and maintaining his position as a statutory director in the company’s supervisory board, until the end of the year. Fowler joined Fish4Pets five years ago as sales director, having previously worked as commercial director with Vital Pet Products.
Simon Nagle is joining the organisation as chief commercial officer and global VP of sales to replace her and support continued worldwide sales development.
Since Smith’s appointment as ceo in 2010, Fish4Pets has experienced year-on-year growth, and now exports to over 30 countries. New investors DSD and existing shareholder FKRA in Norway have helped the UK-based firm to open a state-of-art warehouse and office facility in 2022.
