“We would also like to thank Rajesh for his essential contribution to Kensington and what we have achieved over the last five years under his leadership and wish him all the best for the future.”
Filshie added: “Despite the odds, Kensington has had a very strong year and I look forward to supporting the ambitious growth plans of the business.
