Style Group set for a new era

Wednesday 12 February 2014

Style Group has made two executive appointments to ensure the firm is well-placed to grow as confidence returns to the local construction industry.

Edward Poynton has been made the group’s Chief Executive while also maintaining his role as Managing Director of Style Windows. He is the son of the group’s founder, John Poynton, who will remain as non-executive Chairman of the group.

In addition, James Joseph has taken a new role as the Managing Director of AC Mauger Construction, having previously worked as contracts director.

John Poynton said: “As we come out of the economic downturn, this is the ideal time to introduce a change in leadership. Style Group has always been a family company that is proud all of the positive values that this brings. I’m delighted that Edward has agreed to take over as Chief Executive and with James at the helm of AC Mauger, the group is in the best hands to ensure that we seize the opportunities of a newly revived economy.”

Edward Poynton has been with the group for seven years. He holds two degrees, one in Business and Commerce and the other in Construction Management. 

He said: “We are extremely positive about the future of the Style Group of companies. With my father still on board as Chairman, we have an excellent balance to make the most of the improving economic conditions, whilst also maintaining the family values and ethos that have guided Style throughout the decades.”
