After its AGM on Thursday, 15 May, 2025, the National Bed Federation (NBF) appointed three new members to its Council and re-elected one member following the departure of three others.
Stepping down were Simon Spinks, chairman at Harrison Spinks, and Mark Cort, following the departure from his role at Jay-Be. The remaining vacancy resulted from the passing of Jim Gerety, former MD at Vispring and former NBF president.
Mark Baron, sales and marketing director at John Cotton Nonwovens was re-elected for a period of no more than three years.
The NBF welcomes three new Council members who were duly elected at the trade association’s AGM: Matthew Richardson, head of manufacturing at Bensons for Beds, Nick Booth, MD at Harrison Spinks, and Mark Cort, returning in his new position as commercial director at Hypnos.
Said Tean Dallaway, NBF president: “We are immensely grateful to all our departing Council members for their service to the NBF and the bed industry. Without their willingness to dedicate their time and offer their wise counsel, the NBF would not be the respected organisation it is today.
“We are delighted to welcome three new members to our Council, who we trust will bring a fresh perspective to our strategy going forward.”
