Global pet accessory supplier Trixie has announced a series of leadership changes to support the implementation of a growth strategy running up to 2030.
As part of his succession plan, founder Bonnik Hansen has announced his intention to sell shares in Trixie to a new partner in the medium term to secure the company’s long-term independence and future. To achieve this, he will be assisted by a professional team of advisors led by Deutsche Bank.
Separately, Burkhard Friedrichsen has been appointed to the management board. He will take over responsibility for sales and human resources in summer this year while Volker Haak, who is retiring from management after 40 years with the company, will remain on the advisory board.
In addition, the management board will be strengthened by Danny Bollerey as the new CFO from June. Bollerey has worked for Märtens Transportbänder GmbH for many years and has a brief to further professionalise the general management in terms of finance, reporting and efficient control.
