THIRD-party logistics (3PL) provider Kammac has appointed Barry Bown as its new brand ambassador, as part of the firm’s mission to drive growth in logistics and e-commerce fulfilment following its acquisition by the Elanders Group.

Barry Bown brings over 35 years of leadership experience within the retail sector, including roles as CEO and chairman of Footasylum and group CEO for 16 years at JD Sports Fashion. In his new role, he will help shape strategic initiatives to drive Kammac’s growth and enhance its service offerings for retail and e-commerce brands.

“I am delighted to join Kammac at this pivotal moment in the company’s development,” he said. “This is an exciting time, and I am eager to use my knowledge and experience to help build the brand, drive growth, and set new industry standards – ensuring Kammac remains at the forefront of innovation and excellence.”

The appointment follows Kammac’s recent partnership with Bergen Logistics, another member of the Elanders Group. The integration of Bergen’s North Shields site into Kammac’s network is tipped to bolster the company’s logistics and fulfilment services for fashion and lifestyle brands across the UK.

“Barry’s experience in the fashion retail sector is second to none and will ensure that we tailor our logistics solutions to specifically meet the needs of our retail clients,” said Ged Carabini, CEO at Kammac. “His leadership is exactly what we need to accelerate Kammac’s growth, helping drive our brand forward, build valuable new partnerships, and inspire our team to deliver innovative logistics solutions. We’re excited to welcome him to the team and see the positive impact he’ll undoubtedly bring to Kammac.”
