In a statement Hope said: "It is a real pleasure to join Micro-P at such an exciting time, with some excellent brands already on the portfolio. It’s a great opportunity to work with the team and continue to drive the growth, but also this gives me an opportunity to look for new and exciting brands to take to market.”
