He had been a board member for three years.
He succeeds David Moffitt, Kayfoam Woolfson ceo, who served two years.
‘It is an honour to be asked to serve as president for the NBF. The NBF is an organisation that seeks to nurture the best interests of our extremely important British bed-making industry, which employs a significant number of people directly and supports an equally important supply industry. Anything I can do to assist our members thrive in an increasingly tough and competitive environment, I will gladly carry and embrace,’ he says.
At the AGM Tean Dallaway, Airsprung Furniture Group group finance director took on the role as vice president, manufacturers, alongside her existing role as NBF treasurer. Simon Green, CPS Group md, continues as the vice president, suppliers. Members also agreed to revert to a council of 12 members overseeing the association’s governance and a smaller board of five directors.
