Lenzing’s Michael Kininmonth retires
Lenzing’s business development manager, Michael Kininmonth, is retiring, after three decades building the Tencel brand in denim.
Lenzing described him as a “collaborator, mentor and friend”; colleagues and partners shared messages for him with the company’s blog, Carved in Blue.
Former colleague Tricia Carey, Renewcell’s chief commercial officer, said he inspired everyone within the team.
Consultant Sue Barrett said he brought “so much passion” and had great stories; LaundRE founder Salli Deighton added: “You have been fantastically inspirational to me and many others, and the empire you’ve built at Lenzing with your teams has been absolutely incredible. I only hope we can leave a small amount of a legacy on the denim planet as you have left.”
