Bunting takes over from Massimo Franceschi, who had held the position until recently. His appointment represents one of continuity, says the company, as over a number of years he has not only managed the subsidiary’s operations but also worked side by side with Franceschi in commercial development, acquiring a deep knowledge of the UK market and the brand’s values.
Massimo Franceschi, having successfully completed his mandate in the UK, will return to Italy to focus full-time on the company’s wider commercial strategy, specifically the development of the core European markets.
Marco Govoni, COO of CTE SpA, said, “We are extremely confident in entrusting the leadership of CTE UK to Jimmy. His experience and the work he has done in synergy with Massimo are the best guarantee for CTE’s future in an area that is fundamental for us. At the same time, Massimo’s return to the European scene will allow us to accelerate our growth in key markets.”
