The North East crafting company launched by TV Dragon Sara Davies has appointed a new CEO to support its growth strategy.
Ms Davies launched the Newton Aycliffe business in 2005 when she was studying for a business degree at York University and, together with husband Simon, she has grown the company to become a £38m turnover operation employing more than 200 people and exporting paper craft products all around the world.
Now the firm has announced it has appointed Mark Allsop, a former senior team member at Curry’s plc, as its new CEO as it looks to the future. Before joining the global craft retailer, Mr Allsop was chief operating officer and chief development officer at Currys plc, where he was responsible for developing and leading the company’s omnichannel, data and technology strategy across both physical and digital retail.
