Former upholster in a box executive Vince Gunn has moved into the luxury kitchen sector.
The former Snug.com md has become chief executive of Harvey Jones.
Gunn succeeds Darren Woolsgrove who, over his 14-year tenure, transformed the artisan kitchen designer, facilitating the recent sale of the company to Coniston Capital.
‘I joined Harvey Jones in 2008 and have enjoyed working with some extraordinarily talented people to transform the business into a well renowned national brand. I am very proud of what we have achieved together and am excited to see the future success of the company, confident that it is in great hands,’ says Woolsgrove.
‘I am delighted to be joining Harvey Jones. I see huge potential in the growth of our special brand with its market leading product quality and innovative approach to design, underpinned by exceptional customer service and the strength of a first-class team,’ says Gunn.
‘We are delighted to welcome Vince onboard as we embark on an exciting new chapter for the business. His extensive experience across consumer retail will be invaluable as we continue to progress our strategic plans for the company and brand. On behalf of the entire Harvey Jones family and Coniston Capital I want to take this opportunity to thank Darren for his long-standing contribution and dedication to the business over the past 14 years. We wish him every success for the future,’ says Adrian Fawcett, Harvey Jones chairman.
