Barnes & Mullins Strengthens Board With New Members

Joint managing directors, Brian Cleary and Bruce Perrin, have announced four new appointments to the board of distributor Barnes & Mullins.

They are Steve Finley – sales director; Sarah Lewis – financial director; Alex Mew – marketing director and Gary Tichopad – purchasing director.

In a statement, Cleary said: “Although Barnes & Mullins is wholly and privately owned by Bruce and I, with a company so old we are only custodians and it is our responsibility to ensure B&M can carry on for another 123 years. We’ve been lucky enough to enjoy significant growth in the last 10 years and that has been due to a true team effort. Our new Board members are a significant part of that team, with over 75 years at B&M between them, and they understand the business principles and ethics that Bruce and I hold dear. In an ever changing market we are confident we have a board capable of navigating and prospering in the coming years.”
