Trojan appoints chief growth officer

Huddersfield-based acrylic bath manufacturer Trojan has appointed Jack Tomson as its new chief growth officer, a newly created role to support the company’s European expansion and strengthen partnerships with leading FMCG brands and retailers.

Jack brings 14 years’ experience across major FMCG companies, including Lindt & Sprüngli, Rémy Cointreau, Johnson & Johnson, Danone and Newell Brands. 

He will lead growth across marketplaces, direct-to-consumer platforms and emerging retail channels, helping brands de-risk marketplace reliance while building direct customer relationships.

Jack said: “Trojan’s entrepreneurial energy and pace were a huge driving factor. 

“There’s a real opportunity to help FMCG brands scale their digital operations with agility and precision – bringing together best-in-class marketplace execution and high-performing D2C experiences to unlock profitable growth.

“Trojan’s hands-on operating model enables even the most established brands to accelerate with the speed and clarity of a challenger.”

Trojan, which combines commercial strategy with full-funnel performance, enables brands to grow profitably online while maintaining control and clarity over their channels.

James Rigg, chief executive, added: “I’m genuinely delighted to have Jack on board. 

“Having worked for some of the biggest FMCG brands in the world, he really understands what those businesses are up against – the pressures, the blockers, and the need to move faster in e-commerce without sacrificing control.

“Jack brings real-world experience to solving those challenges. 

“He’s been on the client side, led major digital teams, and knows what it takes to deliver growth at pace. 

“His blend of strategic vision and sleeves-rolled-up execution is exactly what Trojan is all about, helping brands scale with confidence, strengthen their D2C capability and reduce their reliance on single platforms as we grow across the UK and Europe.”
