Following the resignation of Martin Mongan at the end of 2024, former chief commercial officer, Jen Cassidy, has officially taken over as CEO of the Bristan Group.
According to the company, Cassidy brings exceptional leadership, strategic vision, and a passion for innovation that will drive the organisation into the future. Bristan says that her focus on excellence and collaboration will ensure that it will continue to deliver value to its customers and partners.
As Cassidy is vacating her role as COO to take up the mantle as CEO, Bristan has appointed Adam May to be its new chief commercial officer. He joins the company from Wolseley UK, where he held the position of group commercial director.
Stepping in to the role, Cassidy commented: “I’m honoured, excited and grateful to have the opportunity to lead this incredible business. I’ve respected this organisation, and the people in it since the day I joined. I am so proud of everything we have achieved and believe there is still so much more to come.
“I also want to say a personal thank you to Martin for his leadership, guidance and friendship both in my time at the Bristan Group and over a long-shared history. I am confident in our strategy and team, and I look forward to all we will accomplish together in the future.”
Following his appointment, May also added: “Having been a customer of the Bristan Group for many years, I was always deeply impressed by the quality of its products, its customer-centric approach, and the passion of its people. So, when the opportunity arose to join the business, I didn’t hesitate.
“The Bristan Group is a reputable organisation with strong brands respected by customers and consumers. I am honoured to join a group of such talented individuals, and I look forward to building on the strong foundation that is in place while driving continued growth in an ever-changing landscape.”
Former Bristan Group CEO, Martin Mongan, announced last June that he was planning to retire from the company by the end of 2024.
When Mongan’s departure was first announced, Jai Shah, group president of Masco Corporation – Bristan’s parent company – said: “I would like to take the opportunity to thank Martin for the role he has played in Bristan Group’s development over several years. It has been a pleasure to work with him on successfully delivering the strategic plan and seeing the business develop under his leadership.
“I am very excited to support Jen’s appointment as CEO and am confident she is the right person to lead the team on the next exciting stage of Bristan Group’s journey.”
