Fiona-Jane Kenworthy says farewell to nursery trade

After 23 years in the nursery trade, Fiona-Jane Kenworthy – marketing manager for Central Medical Supplies (CMS) – will be leaving the industry at the end of January to take early retirement.

Fiona has been a popular figure both at CMS and throughout the nursery industry and during her time at the Staffordshire-based firm has helped to cement Dreamgenii as one of the leading pregnancy pillows both here in the UK and abroad.

Fiona has also worked tirelessly on the Dr Brown’s brand, working with healthcare professionals to establish it as the most recommended anti-colic baby bottle in the UK, helping to drive sales and brand awareness for both consumers and retailers.

“I can’t believe I have worked in the nursery sector for quite so long, as it has just flown by,” commented Fiona. “It’s such a fun and innovative sector to work in with the friendliest people. I will miss everyone, not just at CMS, but also the many suppliers and agencies I have worked with throughout the years both in the UK and internationally.”

“Fiona has been an invaluable member of the CMS team for many years and we are really going to miss her,” said md Philip Champ. “Her role within the company has undoubtedly helped drive our business forward, establishing us and our brands as a key player within the sector. I speak for everyone at CMS when I wish Fiona every happiness as she embarks on her new life.”

Following Fiona’s departure, the CMS marketing team will be managed by Amy Sellers who will be assisted by Jasmine Clowes.
