Our Team

“A key to achieving success is to assemble a strong and stable management team.” Vivek Wadhwa

Chris Kenny
Managing Director

Chris is the founder and MD of ecogroup, a leading manufacturer and supplier of stainless-steel products for the hospitality industry. Under Chris’ stewardship, ecogroup has quickly evolved since its foundation in 2006, challenging leading industry competitors and building an enviable reputation for innovative products, which put the customers’ needs first.

Under the ecogroup umbrella, Chris has founded several well-established and respected brands, including ecocanopy, Markforce, Markforce Veterinary Products and, more recently, Bradford Products.

Chris holds a Bachelor of Business Accounting and is a Certified Practicing Accountant. Before devoting his work to ecogroup, he gained over a decade’s experience working in senior roles for leading organisations such as Telstra, Pacific Dunlop and Whirlpool.

In his spare time, Chris enjoys the outdoor life; skiing, scuba diving and camping with family and friends.
