Family-owned Haddonstone has come a long way from humble beginnings in the garage of the innovative founder, Bob Barrow, nearly 55 years ago. The company now operates a purpose-built manufactory in Northamptonshire, with stunning Show Gardens and offices in the nearby village of East Haddon.
Throughout the company’s evolution, Haddonstone has remained a family enterprise managed, for the past 15 years, by the founder’s son, David Barrow. Under David’s tenure as Managing Director, the company, which designs and produces impressive garden and architectural stonework, has grown in the UK and worldwide, while also establishing a successful operation, including manufacturing, in the USA.
Haddonstone’s new chapter sees David handing over the role of Managing Director to former Finance Director Nick Lantsbery, while staying very much involved in the company as Chairman.
While recent years have been challenging for the housebuilding market, Haddonstone’s clients have been assured by the quality of the company’s products, the technical support they have come to know, and the maintenance of financial stability; now is the time to move to the next phase.
As David Barrow explains, “It has been a great privilege to lead Haddonstone as Managing Director for the past 15 years. I’m incredibly proud of the dedicated and talented team that continues to drive the company forward, and what we’ve achieved together. As I step into the role of Chairman, I look forward to supporting the business in new ways and helping to shape its continued growth and success.”
Nick Lantsbery is equally enthusiastic about his new challenge, “I’m honoured and excited to be taking on the role of Managing Director after serving as Finance Director for the past seven years. David has achieved a great deal during his time at the helm, and I look forward to building on the strong foundations he has put in place as we continue to grow and evolve as a business.”
