Interpet appoints commercial director and makes MD redundant

Interpet has promoted sales director Mark Hoskins (photo) to the position of commercial director, reporting directly to US parent Central Garden & Pet. Managing director Richard Peters has been made redundant.

The company says the moves are part of a business restructure that reflects the "increasingly close relationship" Interpet has with its parent company, Central Garden & Pet group, since it was purchased in 2004. As one of the largest suppliers and distributors to the trade in the US, Central Garden & Pet says it appreciates the importance of the UK market and the influential role Interpet plays.
