It has today been announced that the Chief Executive and co-founder of Established & Sons, Alasdhair Willis has resigned from his position in the company.

“I’m extremely proud of what I’ve achieved at Established & Sons, to create an internationally respected brand from ground up is a major achievement in today’s climate,” said Willis.
“The company’s contribution to the design industry has been enormous and I’d like to thank my team and the designers I’ve worked with for their support. I wish the business the best for the future and hope they can continue with what has been created”.
