Natuzzi has appointed James Leach and Lewis Stockford as its new agents for the UK and Eire market. Both bring extensive experience in the furniture industry, and will contribute to strengthening engagement with retail partners and identifying new opportunities across the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Their appointment is part of Natuzzi’s strategy to reinvigorate its presence in key markets, develop new partnerships and build on existing relationships through "a more engaged commercial presence and a stronger focus on business development in the region".
Mina Ciccarone, country manager for the UK and Eire market, comments: “We are confident that James and Lewis’ energy, passion and enthusiasm will bring renewed momentum to the market.
"We recognise the changes the market has undergone in recent months and would like to thank our partners for their continued trust and commitment. Their appointment marks a new starting point for enhancing the support we provide to our sales network and putting the market back on a growth trajectory, while fully realising the potential of the Natuzzi brand.”
James and Lewis add: “Natuzzi is one of the great names in Italian design, and we’re proud to represent it. We welcome the opportunity to give retailers the support, presence and partnership a brand of this calibre deserves. Our many years working in the retail sector give us the perfect foundations to help everyone succeed, and our heritage with premium brands will complement Natuzzi’s strategy for the future. We’re incredibly excited to begin this new journey and present the new designs and brand look at the Brussels Furniture Show from 8-11th November.”
