Stannah Announces Additions/Changes To Leadership Structure

Stannah, the U.K.’s largest wholly family-owned lift business and a global leader in home accessibility, has announced a major evolution in its governance and leadership structure. This milestone marks the beginning of a new era for the company, as the sixth generation of the Stannah family steps forward to help shape its future. Sam Stannah, the eldest of the sixth generation and CEO of Uplifts, joins the newly formed Executive Board (EB) alongside Alastair Stannah, Nick Stannah and Debi Coveney (group chief financial officer). The governance changes include the creation of a Governance Board (GB) comprising senior family members to provide oversight and ensure alignment with Stannah’s values and long-term vision. Meanwhile, the EB will work closely with newly appointed CEOs to deliver operational excellence: Marco Luna, currently chief commercial officer of Home Accessibility, will become CEO of Home Accessibility, and Archie Hungwe, currently chief operating officer of Lifts Distribution and Service, will become CEO of that division. “With 18 members of the sixth generation, aged 12 to 32, Stannah remains committed to nurturing future leaders while preserving the family values that have guided the business for over 150 years,” the company said.
