Commenting on his new role Gold said: "When Andrew first approached me about the opportunity, it didn't take long for me to realize that this was the ideal role for me. The work that Andrew, Nick, John and the rest of the dedicated team have done in reviving this great brand during the past four years is nothing short of phenomenal and with these foundations in place I can play my part and help to take the brand into a new era. I am buzzing with ideas and Andrew's infectious enthusiasm is already starting to have a positive effect on me. We have some great new products coming and some superb initiatives to support them, both for dealers and customers alike, add to that the forthcoming 50th anniversary of Carlsbro in a few years and you can see why I am so excited about joining."
Carlsbro MD Andrew Bishop commented: "We have laid many cornerstones for the foundation of the new Carlsbro but it has taken me 18 months to identify this (team playing) building block on which Carlsbro can construct an even stronger future, and in Jon I know that we have found the man."
