Richard Cotter, brand president of Berghaus, will be leaving outdoor brand Berghaus at the end of August to join retailer Snow+Rock Group as CEO.

Mr Cotter said: “My heartfelt thanks go to the team at Pentland, especially to everyone at Berghaus, for their support. It is an exceptional brand, nurtured by a very talented team and I am sure they will continue to go from strength to strength.”

Andy Rubin, CEO of Pentland Brands, Berghaus' owner, added: “Richard joined Pentland in 2003, initially as managing director for Brasher and then became president of Berghaus. Over the last seven years, Richard has led the development of the brand into a truly global player with Berghaus now operating in 48 countries.”

Pentland said Berghaus delivered a strong performance when it reported its 2012 results in June. The group saw revenues rise 14.2% to £1.74 billion.
