“Jon joins us with wide experience in project management, which will greatly benefit Wilsonart brands across Europe as we continue to expand and develop in both the commercial and residential bathroom sectors. We’re pleased to welcome him to the Wilsonart family.” says Neil Horton, Sales Director at Wilsonart UK.

Keely Greenhalgh, National Sales Manager at Mermaid Panels comments: “Stewart has been with Mermaid Panels for over 14 years and during this time he has worked closely and established key relationships with retailers, showrooms, and merchants within the buying groups.
