in 2009, and in particular the significant progress it has made in growing
its online sales through Kathmandu's own platform and global marketplace
websites. I look forward to contributing to the further development of
Kathmandu's growth strategy," Mr Kirk said.

on the NZX and ASX. Since July 2009 he has been the Chairman of Hoyts Group
Limited. Mr Kirk is also the co-founder and Managing Partner of Bailador
Investment Management, a Director of Bailador portfolio companies and a
