Beaconsfield: New CEO for King of Shaves

Andy Hill has been appointed CEO of Beaconsfield-based King of Shaves and to the board of the holding company.

Hill, who studied mechanical engineering, has been with King of Shaves since 1995.  He led the Hyperglide development team, and was managing director of KMI, the company founded by King in 1993, from 2004 to 2009.

"Andy is exceptionally well placed to build on the brands’ 21-year-old foundations and reputation," said Will King, who is standing down as CEO, but remaining founder, board director and the largest shareholder.

"I can think of no one better to take King of Shaves forward, continuing with the mission of 'shaving people smarter'."
