Leedham added: “It has been my privilege to work for Berghaus for most of my career and I am very pleased to have this opportunity to lead the company. Berghaus and Brasher are very special brands that mean a great deal to many people, not least me. With our fantastic team here and the invaluable support of Pentland, I believe that the future is very exciting for this business.”
