Spin Master has appointed Kevin Jones as managing director of Europe to lead the company’s business across Spin Master subsidiaries.

The move reinforces a European focus for the company and provides the next logical step in building a strategic platform to expand and accelerate its business. Jones has led the UK company for the past six years following the acquisition of FEVA by Spin Master in January 2006.

The company also announces that, Denis Normand, SVP International, who successfully led Spin Master’s International business for the past five years, is leaving to take up a position outside of the industry as CEO of Dimplex North America at the end of February.
