Warren Hardie, who retired as President of Brunswick Bowling & Billiards in 2011, has been named Chief Operating Officer of the newly formed Bowlmor AMF.

Hardie brings experience in both manufacturing and bowling center operations to his new post, having also formerly served as Brunswick's President of Bowling Retail.

Bowlmor AMF is a merger of AMF Bowling Worldwide Inc. and Strike Holdings LLC, completed in the wake of AMF's most recent Chapter 11 filing. When the merger was announced, it also was noted that Bowlmor AMF would hold a 50% ownership stake in capital equipment manufacturer QubicaAMF.

Bowlers Journal International will have a full report in the August issue.
