Hot 100-listed Flavour Warehouse, which produces the Vampire Vape ecigarettes and eliquids, has appointed Kanesh Khilosia as chief finance and strategy officer.

Kanesh has 30 years of experience in fast-growth businesses, holding senior roles including Armstrong Craven, where he was CEO, and healthcare services provider DBG, which he led through  an aggressive growth phase and eventual exit.

He also serves as a mentor and adviser to a number of businesses embarking on growth through external investment and acquisition.

He joins Flavour Warehouse as the Darwen company embarks on its own aggressive growth strategy, including plans to significantly grow through organic and acquisitive means.

Phil Boyle, CEO, said: "Kanesh brings some incredibly strong knowledge and experience that will be vital for us as we continue our ambitious plans for growth in a rapidly changing and expanding marketplace."
