Abercrombie & Kent names Ross Pakes as product director

Ross Pakes has stepped up to become product director at Abercrombie & Kent.

He replaces product and commercial director Charlie Bateson, following his departures from the operator after four years.

Pakes has worked for more than ten years at Abercrombie & Kent.

Managing director Kerry Golds said: “Charlie has been an integral member of the Abercrombie & Kent team for almost four years and has greatly contributed towards the 60% growth in the UK over that period. He will be sorely missed.

“However, we’re delighted that Ross is able to step into the position.

“Not only is he passionate about our business but he holds years of experience along with strong relationships in the industry.”
