Darius Padler (pictured right) has resigned from the Bristan Group and current chief financial officer Ken Ellis (pictured left) will take on the role of CEO in the interim.
Padler will take up another CEO position with a company closer to his home in Germany at the end of this year. He has been with US-owned Masco, parent company of Bristan, for over 20 years.
Ellis has been with the Bristan Group for 22 years. He said: “It’s been a pleasure to work with such an admired leader as Darius. During this time, the business has gone from strength to strength, gaining market share with our three brands – Bristan, Heritage and Cascade. We all wish Darius the very best for the future.
“We remain focused on keeping business flowing for our customers and continuing to deliver customer-inspired products and services.”
