Moving on after 38 years

Following the acquisition in March 2012 of Contico Manufacturing by Robert Scott & Sons, it is with sadness that the company announces the departure of Contico's commercial director, Vernon Holmes.

'I leave Contico on 30th June 2013 after 38 fantastic years with the company,' says Holmes. 'Over the past 15 months I have done my best to professionally pass over the Contico business to the directors of Robert Scott's and the time is now right for me to move on to new and hopefully exciting new opportunities within the industry.

The Contico brand is now in very safe hands and the future of the company secured.' Alastair Scott, marketing and sales director, at Robert Scott, comments: 'It has been a great pleasure to work alongside Vernon over the past 15 months; he has been invaluable in managing the transition of ownership and has worked tirelessly to contribute to the turn round of the Contico brand. We are very sorry to see Vernon go but understand his wish to look for new challenges and we wish him the very best.'
