UK home furnishings retailer Terrys appoints Gareth Coxall as director

In Terrys 54 years of trading, Coxall is the first non-family member to enter the board of directors, sparking the start of an exciting time for the retailer. Having worked with the team for just over a year in a non-director role, he has been instrumental in Terrys recent success, having this month announced a huge 109 per cent surge in revenue year-on-year and the acquisition of several popular homeware collections including Emma Shipley, Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen, and Cath Kidston.

“I am thrilled to have joined the Terrys board as the first non-family member in the retailer’s history. This is an exciting new challenge at a time when the prominence of e-commerce in the industry has grown greatly. Additional to expanding our offering, we’re excited to be working with some of the most popular designers to bring our customers the exclusive collections that they crave,” said Coxall.

In another first for the retailer, Terrys have already this year launched an exclusive collection with renowned designer Orla Kiely, furthering its position as a market leader within the sector.

“We are delighted to welcome Gareth as marketing and creative director at Terrys. We are ambitious for growth and Gareth has the credentials and experience to help us elevate our brand and accelerate our growth to take the business to the next level,” said Paul McGuinness, managing director at Terrys.
