McBride, the struggling manufacturer of private label household cleaning products, has announced the appointment of Jeffrey Nodland as its new Chairman.
He replaces John Coleman, who announced recently that he would step down as a director and Chairman following the group’s AGM on 22 October.
Nodland, who is a US citizen, is said to have extensive experience in consumer chemicals manufacturing businesses including both private label and contract manufacturing activities. He was most recently President and CEO of KIK Custom Products, one of North America’s largest independent manufacturers of consumer packaged goods.
Commenting on his appointment, Nodland said: “I am honoured to take the role of Non-Executive Chairman of McBride. The company has a rich history of manufacturing excellent products for the European retail market.
“We are excited about the Group’s future prospects and I look forward to working with a talented leadership team and our dedicated employees.”
McBride recently reported a heavy fall in annual profits as it continued to implement its plans to combat the tough trading environment.
