Painting and decorating merchant Dulux Decorator Centre has announced the appointment of Sarah Atkins as its new Managing Director, effective 1st February.
Having been an integral part of Dulux Decorator Centre for the past eight years, Sarah joined the business as Marketing Lead, before advancing to Head of Retail Marketing and subsequently to Commercial Director in 2023. Sarah’s career has spanned omni-channel multi-site retail and wholesale organisations, financial services and leisure, and her experience has enabled her to drive successful commercial outcomes from both supplier and customer perspectives.
She commented: “Dulux Decorator Centre is a fantastic business, and I’ve loved shaping its commercial success over the past eight years. I am really looking forward to taking on this new challenge, helping the business to continue to go from strength to strength.”
Sarah succeeds Guy Butterworth, who after 30 years of dedicated service, will be leaving the business. A company statement noted: “Throughout these years, Guy has provided exceptional leadership to Dulux Decorator Centre, strongly contributing to the company’s growth and success. Having started out as a delivery driver, he’s been an inspiration to all Dulux Decorator Centre colleagues, and will be missed throughout the business.”
Sarah added: “It has been fantastic working with Guy, and my aim is to build on his work, supported closely by our talented team. Together, we will continue to strengthen our partnerships, and deliver exceptional value and expertise to all our customers.”
