Mike McGillion joins Rubies

Rubies has announced the appointment of Mike McGillion as its new sales director.

In his new role, Mike will spearhead sales initiatives aimed at driving growth and surpassing targets in the UK and export markets. With a wealth of experience spanning nearly 25 years in the party/costume and balloon sector, Mike brings a strong focus on developing businesses in licensed categories.

Mike’s career journey includes joining Amscan in 2000 when the EMEA turnover stood at £12m. As part of the management team, he played a pivotal role in scaling the business to £200m. His contributions to Amscan’s growth involved organic expansion, diversification into new product categories, and strategic acquisitions and mergers.

Until recently, Mike led the EMEA business for Disguise, demonstrating a track record of success that aligns perfectly with Rubies’ broader ambitions and visions as the company begins the new financial year, as well as even more experience in the dress-up category.

Tim Mulhall, ceo of Rubies, commented: “I’m confident that Mike’s decades of expertise and his enthusiasm will be a valuable asset to our company. I encourage everyone to join me in extending a warm welcome to Mike as he embarks on this exciting journey with Rubies.”
