Biolab makes six key appointments to support future growth

BioLab, now owned by KIK Custom Products, has made six key appointments to position the company for future growth in the Australian and New Zealand markets.

The appointments mark a commitment by KIK Custom Products to grow BioLab’s Australian and New Zealand operations and brands which include BioGuard®, BioGuard Poolside®, Omni® as well as its partnership with Hayward.

BioLab Commercial Director Mr Lindsay McGrath said the new appointments mark an exciting period for BioLab as we target growth in a number of different market segments.

“KIK Custom Products recognises the growth potential for BioLab in Australia and New Zealand and their international strength and commitment are significant assets for us,” said Mr McGrath.

“The new appointments provide a solid platform for BioLab to take advantage of growth opportunities in a rapidly changing marketplace.”

To support BioGuard’s growth in Queensland, Northern Territory and northern New South Wales, experienced industry professional Paul Knight has joined the team as Business Development Manager.

He will be charged with growing the existing BioGuard and Poolside BioGuard network of retailers and identifying and capitalising on new business opportunities within these key markets.

An internal restructure has led to the creation of a number of new positions, with Ranusha Fernando appointed as BioLab’s Procurement and Planning Manager.

Ranusha has been with the company for two years and will now be responsible for working closely with suppliers and customers to improve operations, efficiencies and effectively manage costs.

Qualified Chartered Accountant Paul Kimber takes on the role as BioLab’s Market Analyst to identify new business opportunities, help bring new products to market and support the financial management of the business.

Meanwhile, Melissa Gasson has been appointed as Logistics Specialist to manage all aspects of freight and warehousing in Australia and New Zealand including inventory control and liaising with carriers and warehouse personnel to ensure the smooth running of the logistics operations.

Helen Bergoc takes on the role of Accounts Payable and George Loizou as Financial Controller.
