After four years with the business.

Winning Group head of marketing and brand, Kate Thomas will be leaving the business after four years to pursue a marketing role in the fashion industry.

Commenting on her departure, Thomas said, “It has been a joy to work with John Winning over the past four years, who I hold in very high esteem. I would like to thank him and the Winning family for the trust they generously gave me to evolve the brand and marketing direction of Winning Appliances. It has been an honour to be involved in such an amazing period of transformation in this business’s long and illustrious history and I would like to thank the incredible team I work with for their outstanding work and support. I would also like to thank my industry colleagues, who have been so welcoming and collaborative. It has been an amazing few years and I will miss everyone immensely.”

Winning Group CEO, John Winning said, “I would like to thank Kate for her hard work and I can’t say enough how much we are going to miss her. I don’t think there is anyone I have met anywhere in the world that has quiet the eye for retail. We wouldn’t be anywhere near where we are today if it wasn’t for Kate’s hard work over the past four years.

“I have absolutely loved working with her. She has done a brilliant job and we are very sad to see her go. Winning Appliances Fortitude Valley is just one little piece of what will be left behind from her time with the company. We wish Kate all the best.”

Winning Appliances CEO, David Woollcott said, “We thank Kate for an impactful 4 years at Winning Appliances, her unique style and determination has driven real change, particularly at a brand level. There is no doubt she will bring this flavor and energy to her new role in the apparel trade.”
