A pizza oven manufacturing firm in Dorset has appointed a former boss at workwear giant Dickies as its new chief executive.
Christchurch-based Gozney, which designs outdoor pizza ovens for homes and restaurants, has hired the clothing company’s former global brand president Denny Bruce to assist with its further expansion into international markets.
Launched by founder Tom Gozney in 2010, the firm has grown into a $100m business with offices in the US and China. The company said it had seen a 93% rise in revenue over the last year, and was planning to enter new markets including Norway and Sweden, as well as wholesale launches in Germany and Australia.
