Senior Appointments in the UK and North America

 

Sanderson Design Group PLC (AIM: SDG), the luxury interior design and
furnishings group, is pleased to confirm two senior appointments, one in the
UK focused on manufacturing and the other in the USA focused on sales.

Group Operations Director

Tim Preston, a highly experienced manufacturing, operations and supply chain
executive, has joined the Company as Group Operations Director, a key role in
which he will lead the Group's manufacturing activities and the Group's Future
Factory initiative. This initiative was outlined in the Company's half year
results presentation on 16 October 2024 and is focused on digital-first
printing, reducing lead times and increasing productivity.

Tim has more than 20 years of senior operations management experience at
international and national businesses, specialising in project delivery and
continuous improvement. He was at Pepsico for nine years serving the Italy,
France and Germany markets in roles including Operations Director. He then had
positions including Supply Chain Director at Premier Foods and Operations
Director at Berendsen UK before, most recently, spending six years at Greene
King as Brewing and Distribution Director.

Senior Vice President of Sales, North America

In the USA, Scott Christopher Hans has been appointed to the newly created
role of Senior Vice President of Sales as part of the Company's growth
strategy in the important market of North America. Scott will lead business
development in the North America market with full responsibility to lead sales
in all channels and develop opportunities to accelerate growth.

Scott has more than 20 years' experience in the luxury design and interiors
industry. He has held positions at Century, Robert Allen Beacon Hill, Rodolph,
and most recently at La Maison Pierre Frey as the Vice President of Sales,
North and South America.

Scott, who starts at the Company today, reports to Beth Holman, President at
the Company's US business Sanderson Design Group Inc.

 

Lisa Montague, Chief Executive Officer of Sanderson Design Group, commented:
"I'm delighted to welcome Tim and Scott to Sanderson Design Group. Tim has
joined the Company at a very important time for our manufacturing operations
owing to the opportunities created by the digitalisation of printing
processes. We believe our Future Factory initiative has the potential to
deliver a much more efficient manufacturing operation. Meanwhile, North
America is a key strategic growth opportunity for the Group and Scott's sales
experience will be of great value as we continue to focus on building this
important market."
