Colin Houlihan will join the Board of Carcraft effective 11 September 2014, as Group Chief Executive Officer.

Alan Greenough, non-executive director said on behalf of the board: "Having transitioned from a family run business, through a management buy-out the Board believes it is the appropriate time for a proven corporate leader with fresh perspectives, a new profile and the hunger to lead the business to the next level.

"Colin Houlihan brings a wealth of consumer experience and expertise in business strategy, change management, brand development and customer value. He has held board level positions in private and public companies, and brings with him over 20 years experience as Chief Executive. Colin has achieved several successful corporate exits.

The Board believes that with Colin’s leadership Carcraft will consolidate and improve its leading position in the retail of used cars to the general public."

Mr Houlihan joins from Cool Milk Europe (CMEU) having developed and executed a successful strategy for CMEU.
