Hornby's principal products were its eponymous model railways and Scalextric slot-cars. I was appointed as one of just two non-executive directors to a small board comprising the NEDs and an executive chairman. The company was undergoing a period of financial difficulty principally because it had diversified into seasonal toys, sports boats and other non-core products. I was instrumental in devising and implementing a non-core disposal programme and outsourcing all production to China. Hornby was turned around, returned to profit and a decade of growth followed during which the company's shares were the best performing on the London Stock Exchange for two successive periods in the mid-2000s.Non-Executive Director
