“While I still feel keen to be captain of my ship, I want to have a first mate who understands the requirements of a bigger business,” Tension said.
“Gwynn‘s experience of successfully running the commercial departments of larger companies will be added to this brand‘s predominantly home-grown board of directors.”
Milligan added: “I am looking forward to working with a talented team by further supporting their success and growth story.”
