After an impressive 32 years helping to drive Oxford Products to a significant position in the global two-wheeled industries, Andrew Hammond has left the business to pursue other opportunities. He is replaced as Managing Director by a familiar face, former Marketing Director Henry Rivers Fletcher.

Oxford’s Chairman and company founder Alec Hammond sums up Andrew’s contribution: “During Andrew's time, Oxford has grown from a modest enterprise into what is now regarded as one of the world’s most significant and successful motorcycle and cycle accessory businesses.

"I and the rest of the Board would like to thank Andrew for his huge contribution to the Company over his long period at the helm and wish him every success with his endeavours going forward.”

In Andrew’s words: “After spending my whole adult working life at Oxford Products, some 32 years, I stand very proud of where I have taken the business as MD for the last 23 years. I leave the business in a very sound and secure place, with plenty in the pipeline for 2024 and the years to come.

"During those years I have worked with some amazing people in the global two wheeled market, and we have shared some fabulous experiences. I am very grateful to them all and look forward to meeting up with them again in the future.

"In the coming months I shall look forward to spending some extended quality time with my family and will turn my attention to training for the New York Marathon in November. As I am way too young to retire, and once the summer is over, I shall be looking for new challenges or opportunities going forward.”

Alec Hammond continued: “Andrew has benefitted from the support of many remarkable individuals over the years, most of whom still make Oxford the powerhouse it is today.

"As well as over 150 incredible people whose efforts and expertise give us our strength, we are fortunate to have a formidable team of directors steering the ship. With a combined service of over 150 years, they will continue their great work under the leadership of Henry Rivers Fletcher."

New MD Henry Rivers Fletcher is reported to be relishing the opportunity to extend Oxford’s winning formula: “I look forward to helping our very special team to continue their exceptional work, while supporting our partners and stakeholders around the world; we will build on our mission to always do and be… Better!”.
