Neil Montgomery, commercial director and country manager at Juratoys UK, has announced his departure and is actively seeking his next leadership role within the toy industry.
Neil has extensive experience in the toy industry and significant experience in the stationery, hobby, and craft sector from his various director roles at ColArt. In his most recent role as MD/country manager/commercial director at Juratoys, he was responsible for all aspects of the business with full P&L responsibility.
Neil began working at Juratoys after it acquired Alex Brands, which included a number of brands from Slinky, Alex Toys, Zoob, Backyard Safari to Poof. As part of the senior management team establishing the brands back in the UK market, it had huge success relaunching many much-loved brands and products, including the iconic Slinky Dog.
In the last five years, Neil has shifted focus to developing and growing sales of the Janod and Kaloo brands as Juratoys parted company with Alex Brands. Alongside opening a new UK office and recruiting a new team, it gained listings in many of the largest UK retailers including John Lewis, Harrods, and JoJo Maman Bébé, where the brands saw significant sales growth.
