Edgar Brothers have appointed Manchester-based Ian Gordon as their new Finance Director.
In this newly created position, Ian will report to Derek Edgar, Managing Director, and work alongside Operations Director Emma Burgess, as well as Mike Newman and Lisa Riley, Divisional Sales & Marketing Directors.
Edgar Brothers’ Chairman Ian Edgar commented: “This appointment strengthens and broadens the operational management team at an important time for Edgar Brothers. Ian's strong financial background, coupled with his extensive business experience, prepares him well for this critical role within our business.”
Ian has been tasked with helping Edgar Brothers achieve its long-term business goals, by furthering the distributor’s position as number one in the market place for product diversity in the field of firearms, ammunition, air rifles and associated goods, whilst supporting innovative business systems and service improvement. Specifically this will include leading the drive towards increased profitability and further growth in specialist market sectors.
Managing Director Derek Edgar added: “Edgar Brothers continues to evolve both internally as well as externally, as we take market share, our infrastructure must be robust enough to support the important brands that we manage. Ian brings a wealth of experience from his previous role at Compass Minerals, which will help Edgar Brothers grow - for the benefit of our suppliers, our dealers and their customers. We are delighted that he will be part of our Senior Management Team (even though he is a Manchester City fan) and look forward to welcoming him not only to Edgar Brothers, but into the gun trade.”
