“We are confident that with Kyrk at the helm of our amazing Wood Wood organization and management team, we will be able to achieve the ambitious goals we set out in our Strategy 2025,” said CEO Peter Fabrin that we remain focused on making Wood Wood a fantastic place to work for all employees with an open and inclusive culture, as well as continuing significant growth and improving our profitability.”
Goldup comes from Browns – Huckbody from Burberry
Goldup, who began his career as a fashion photographer, spent the last six years at British fashion retailer Browns as head buyer for casual, contemporary & designer menswear. He will be Head of Purchasing for Wood Wood from London. In doing so, he should “further expand the international ambitions of the brand,” according to the statement.
