Supply entrepreneur passes away
Robert E B Gardiner, the founder of consumer electronics wholesale distribution company CANOHM (distributors of Vogel’s, Canton and Sangean), has passed away. Following a long battle with cancer he passed peacefully over the recent holiday break.
Canohm has given Appliance retailer this statement, “We are devastated to lose Rob who was much loved and greatly respected. His kindness, generosity and humour will stay with us always.”
“He has shaped the culture at Canohm with his strong business acumen, work ethic and customer focus. He leaves us and Canohm in a very strong position and we look to the future with confidence.”
Rob’s son Andrew will now takeover the reins and the company said it will be “business as usual” as Canohm looks to move to its new larger premises in Port Melbourne.
