Duncan and Todd appointed Mat Norris as group CEO as Frances Rus transitions to a non-executive director role on the board of directors.
Norris was formerly CEO at Aqualisa, a smart shower manufacturer in the UK, and has previously held leadership roles at Titon, Jim Lawrence Lighting and Johnson Matthey.
‘I am thrilled to join the fantastic team at Duncan and Todd and very pleased to continue to have Frances's expertise remain on the board. Frances’ deep insights, gained through devoted service to the industry, will help continue the success of the group,’ Norris said.
Under Rus’s leadership, Duncan and Todd experienced growth and expanded its presence across Scotland, as well as relocating its manufacturing division, Caledonian Optical.
Rus said Norris would embrace the opportunities ahead with the same passion and dedication that defined the Duncan and Todd group.
Duncan Gibson, chair of Duncan and Todd, said: ‘We are delighted that Mat will be joining the group as CEO. Mat has an impressive track record of leadership within the consumer and manufacturing sectors and made a great impression when supporting the Caledonian Optical move to its impressive new facility.
‘After nearly four decades of dedicated service and her significant role in growing our business, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to Frances for her outstanding contributions. We look forward to her ongoing positive impact in her new capacity as a non-executive director.
‘We have ambitious plans for the group and we are delighted to have someone of Mat’s talent to lead our great team.’
