Canadian Tire has completed the acquisition of Forzani Group through a subsidiary called FGL Acquisition, taking the company out of the Toronto stock exchange. It has also appointed a new management for FGL led by Michael Medline. The former chief executive of Forzani, Bob Sartor, is leaving, and its former president and chief operating officer, Tom Quinn, will continue to provide strategic advice as a consultant. Medline, who was formerly president of Canadian Tire's automotive business unit, will oversee an 11-member executive team made up of former Canadian Tire and Forzani officials. The former Canadian Tire veterans on FGL's team include a new chief financial officer, Gregory Craig, and Duncan Fulton, senior vice president for communications and chief marketing officer.
