Andy Benson is stepping down as managing director of Duplo UK. Mr Benson, who previously served as managing director of Sony’s Nordic operations and group commercial director at SG Gaming, had been with the Addlestone-based company for almost two years.

Until a suitable replacement can be found, Robin Greenhalgh, Duplo international chairman and CEO, will lead the firm’s UK operations. UK head of sales, Colleen Hankin, will continue to lead the account management team and Kevin Nicholls will continue to provide after sales care.

‘We’re sad to see Andy leave and we wish him every success in his future endeavours,’ said Mr Greenhalgh.

Mr Benson will serve with the company until 29 March to ensure a smooth business transition and prepare the scene for his successor.
