Harding Brothers appoints ex-Allders and Nuance executive Trevor Moore to top buying role – 12/03/08

Trevor Moore: Thrilled to be joining a “rapidly growing, forward thinking company like Harding Brothers”


UK. Cruiseline retail specialist Harding Brothers has announced the appointment of Trevor Moore as its new Director of Buying. Moore replaces Brian Smith who left the company earlier this year.

Moore has strong connections with the travel retail industry, having previously worked for Cunard, Allders International and The Nuance Group. More recently he has held a series of managerial roles specialising in business development, buying and marketing strategy outside the industry.

Harding Brothers Managing Director Harold Gittelmon said: “We are very pleased to have enticed Trevor back into the world of travel retail. He has a wealth of experience to bring us, not just from his Allders and Nuance days, but also from a decade of working in high powered, international retailing and service sector environments where building international relationships, negotiation, leading teams and managing change have all been paramount.

“It is exactly that breadth and depth of knowledge and experience that we require for what is a very challenging role within Harding Brothers.”

Commenting on his appointment Moore said: “I am thrilled to be coming back into the travel retail business and what better way than with a rapidly growing, dynamic, forward thinking company like Harding Brothers. Having started my career with Cunard 30 years ago, it seems ironic to have gone full circle and be back in the cruise ship business, but it’s a great feeling.

“The industry has changed dramatically in the last ten years and I very much look forward to catching up with old friends and familiar faces, as well as meeting the new movers and shakers that have helped make travel retail such an exciting, challenging and vibrant business to be involved with again after all these years.”
