MD heads for down under

After ten hugely successful years at the helm of Rug Doctor in the UK,MD Mike Holden is leaving the company in August in order to work his magic for the brand in Australia.

Earlier this year, Holden was approached by the Rug Doctor business in Australia with a challenge he simply couldn't resist."I was asked if I would like to take charge of the Australian operation and this, coupled with the exciting prospect of living 'down under' for a number of years,was a life changing opportunity I just couldn't turn down," says Holden.

Since joining the company in 2000, Holden has overseen a transformation in Rug Doctor's fortunes in the UK,"I'm pleased to say that I'm leaving the UK company in pretty good shape. Rentals have never been higher and our distribution is continuing to blaze a trail across the UK.90% of the UK population are now no more than a 10 minute drive away from a Rug Doctor rental location." Acting MD until a replacement is found, will be operations director, James Budd.
