The finest toyshop in
the world, Hamleys is bringing good news to Malaysians! The first flagship
store will open its door to the public in One Utama on the 30th of
November. For more than 250 years, Hamleys of London has been the Finest Toy
Shop in the World, bringing magical experiences and joy to children of all ages.
Gudjon Reynisson is the Chief Executive of
Hamleys the world famous toy retailer.
Gudjon held various retail positions in his native Iceland, most
recently as CEO of convenience chain 10-11, where he affected the turnaround of
the business by tripling profits, before moving to the UK with his family in
2008.
Gudjon took over the helm at Hamleys at the
start of one of the toughest recessions in recent history. At
Hamleys he has delivered a similar success story, re-invigorating a business
that was non-profit making and focused on the UK retail market. Hamleys
today is quite a different business, with stores in 12 markets and a successful
growth strategy which has seen the Hamleys’s turnover double and EBITDA profits more than
triple and a strong team now focused on worldwide expansion.
In 2012 Gudjon led a successful sale of the
Hamleys business to Ludendo, a privately owned French retail group, and is
staying on as CEO leading the business on the next chapter of the worldwide expansion
under new ownership.
