New MD for Haddonstone
Family-owned Haddonstone has come a long way from humble beginnings in the garage of the innovative founder, Bob Barrow, nearly 55 years ago. The company now operates a purpose-built manufactory in Northamptonshire, with stunning Show Gardens and offices in the nearby village of East Haddon.
Throughout the company’s evolution, Haddonstone has remained a family enterprise managed, for the past 15 years, by the founder’s son, David Barrow.
A new chapter for the company sees David handing over the role of Managing Director to former Finance Director Nick Lantsbery, as he becomes the company Chairman.
“It has been a great privilege to lead Haddonstone as Managing Director for the past 15 years... As I step into the role of Chairman, I look forward to supporting the business in new ways and helping to shape its continued growth and success.”
Nick Lantsbery is equally enthusiastic about his new challenge, “I’m honoured and excited to be taking on the role of Managing Director after serving as Finance Director for the past seven years. David has achieved a great deal during his time at the helm, and I look forward to building on the strong foundations he has put in place as we continue to grow and evolve as a business.”
Under David’s tenure as Managing Director, the company, which designs and produces impressive garden and architectural stonework, has grown in the UK and worldwide, while also establishing a successful operation, including manufacturing, in the USA.
