Before that, he spent nine years at panel manufacturer Kronospan, where he started his career in 1986.

Tasked with building on HPP’s success in the KBB industry, Taylor will seek out new opportunities and marketplaces to broaden the firm’s business.

Commenting on his role role, Jason Taylor said: “It’s a wide-ranging role where I’ll being looking at the existing customer base,

“HPP is very well known and kitchen and bedroom centric, but there are a lot of other markets out there where HPP’s stock ranges can be consumed.

“An example is student accommodation – it’s a big market that HPP does some business in, but it could do a lot more. Those are the types of things I’ll be looking at and working on.”

He added: “I’m looking forward to working in a good, growing business where you are given scope and trusted to grow the business and be a contributor to its success.

“I’m a team player – that’s something that attracted me to HPP – as they have a good team and it’s totally inclusive.”

HPP’s Deputy MD Gareth Evans added: “We are delighted to get Jason on board, and we can’t wait to get him started.

“We’ve known Jason for years and he’s known us. I started here when I was 17 and I remember Jason knocking on the door to see Martin (Hill, HPP’s joint owner with brother Stephen), so to have come full cycle and have Jason actually working with us is really exciting.

“He adds kudos from the roles he’s held, the places he’s worked, the people he knows and his understanding of the industry.”

 

HPP has also recently appointed Jen Wilding as area sales manager for the Midlands.

They belong to The New Classtone and Fusioncollections which interpret marble and natural stone, respectively, and boast Neolith’s antibacterial NeolEAT technology.

Inspired by Ancient Rome,  Calacatta Roma (pictured top) pays homage to Italian Carrara marble, with ochre and grey veins in a white background.

While the Cappadocia region, in central Turkey, with its rock formations formed by volcanoes and underground cities, has inspired Cappadocia Sunset (pictured below).
