The new coo has been appointed to support the ongoing growth and development of the company.
Neil Weaver is joining the Milton Keynes-based designer, manufacturer, distributor, wholesaler and retailer of party products from fashion and homewares retailer, Cath Kidston, where he held the position of sourcing, supply chain and IT director.
In his new role, Neil will support the development of Amscan International’s global operations and be responsible for the end-to-end supply chain at board level after a phased transition.
Neil commented: “Amscan International’s vertically integrated structure and supply chain strength is one of its key differentiating factors, which is testament to the capability of the company’s team and infrastructure.
“I look forward to further developing our supply chain operations to not only best serve our customers, but also help position Amscan International as the celebrations products market leader.”
Prior to Cath Kidston, Neil worked for personal healthcare and consumer goods manufacturer, PZ Cussons and Pentland Brands, owner of Speedo, Berghause, Ellesse, Endura, Canterbury, and Mitre.
Joe Hennigan, Amscan International chief executive, continued: “Neil is a strong business leader who brings with him expertise across multiple sectors, consumer product categories and brands in many territories.
“He has a strong track record of delivering commercial value to businesses and achieving strong returns on investment. We are very pleased to welcome Neil into the business. He will be a huge asset across the entire Amscan International group to support our ongoing growth ambitions.”
