Heather will represent the company in Ireland as Allen, who received a Golden Teddy Award earlier this week in recognition of his contribution to the trade, retires at the end of May
Heather McAlister has been appointed to represent One for Fun in Ireland, as Allen Murray, the company’s longstanding Ireland rep, retires at the end of May.
Allen’s long service and outstanding contribution to the industry was recognised at this year’s Toymaster May Show with a well-deserved Golden Teddy Award. Allen will be greatly missed and is certainly a hard act to follow. However, One for Fun is delighted to receive a recommendation for his successor from one of the company’s biggest Irish customers and is pleased to welcome Heather McAlister to look after the territory in the future.
David Mordecai, CEO of One for Fun, said: “We wish Allen all the very best in his retirement and thank him for all his hard work over the years in helping to build our success in Ireland. We are also very lucky that Heather has decided to join us, and we look forward to making her feel at home here at One for Fun.”
Heather is already well known to many customers in Ireland, having spent seven years with Playmobil, where she built strong relationships across the market and has earned an excellent reputation within the industry.
The One for Fun team also said they would like to thank Allen for his dedication and commitment over the years, and look forward to an exciting new chapter with Heather joining the team.
