SHACKLETONS, the Yorkshire furniture brand, has appointed Donna Bellingham as its new chief executive officer.
She joins Shackletons following 18 years as CEO within Sofa Brands International. Previously, Donna has worked in senior roles at Marks and Spencer.
As CEO, Donna will report directly to executive chairman Sir Anthony Ullmann, who acquired Shackletons in 2018.
Donna said: “I am delighted to have the opportunity to work alongside talented people in all areas of the Group. The team has already achieved remarkable success in revitalising the business since its acquisition, re-establishing this premium brand as a key player in the sector.”
Sir Anthony Ullmann added: “Donna’s arrival comes at an important stage in Shackletons growth. She brings with her a wealth of commercial insight which will be beneficial as she takes the leadership team forward.”
Joseph Ullmann has also been appointed as commercial director as he continues to lead the sales and marketing departments. Finance director Mark Harrison will take on the role of operations director and Chris Woods has now been appointed as head of manufacturing.
