Tony Maynard
Graduating from New College, Oxford with an English degree and with the Maynard family confectionery firm’s retail and manufacturing interests in his blood, it was only natural that Tony would develop his career in product and retail marketing and general management. After sales training with the British Printing Corporation, he joined Rank Hovis McDougall, becoming Marketing Manager of leading brands Bisto, Saxa, Cerebos, and Paxo and numerous new product launches - Bisto Rich Gravy Granules among them. In 1978 he joined Habitat, when it was still a private company, becoming the first Marketing Director shortly thereafter.
Eight years and several acquisitions later, he moved over to be Marketing Director of Mothercare in the new enlarged Habitat/Mothercare group. By 1990 Tony was Managing Director of furniture manufacturer Parker Knoll and followed this by leading an MBO of Laytons Wine Merchants, successfully selling it on a few years later before becoming Chief Executive of the National Federation of Builders with its 250 SME member companies. This multi-sector general management and marketing experience gives Tony the ideal platform as a cmc Partner, helping smaller companies to find their way in an increasingly challenging business environment.
