John Coleman is to leave his role as Vice President, UK, at Kingfisher MX, the circularity company founded in 2016 by CEO Georgiann Reigle and Peter Hirschmann, the former CEO of Assurion Asia.

Kingfisher collaborates with networks across Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific on re-circulating used devices. It was acquired two months ago by Allstate Protection Plans, a leading US warranty company also known as SquareTrade.

Coleman said: *”When I joined Kingfisher, my ultimate goal was to help build a sustainable business that would serve as a foundation for growth. The culmination of our efforts in the successful acquisition by SquareTrade marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter. With the integration program now gaining momentum, I believe it’s the right time for me to move on and embrace new challenges.”
