Tamarisk Designs has appointed Deborah Dickinson as head of sales. Deborah brings with her a depth of knowledge and expertise in the upholstery industry, having held key roles at names such as At the Helm, Arlo & Jacob, and Redbrick.
Tamarisk says her appointment marks a significant step forward in the business' strategic vision to enhance customer partnerships, expand market presence, and elevate the brand’s offering across all touchpoints.
“Deborah’s industry insight, hands-on approach and commercial acumen make her an exciting addition to the Tamarisk team,” says CEO Jen Barker. “Her experience and leadership will be instrumental as we continue to grow and develop our relationships with retailers and clients.”
Deborah will be working closely with recently appointed design director Suzanne O'Flynn to shape "a cohesive and compelling product and fabric collection – true to Tamarisk’s timeless aesthetic, but refreshed with a new energy. Together, they bring a complementary set of skills in design and sales that will strengthen the brand from the inside out".
In her new role, Deborah will also focus on developing and mentoring Tamarisk’s growing sales team. She will play an active role in ensuring retailers are supported with the tools and guidance needed to present Tamarisk at its best on the shop floor.
Deborah comments: "I’ve long admired Tamarisk for its craftsmanship and enduring style. Everything is handmade here in the UK by skilled artisans – a rare and valuable commitment in today's market. I'm really looking forward to contributing to Tamarisk's product range and sharing our beautiful collection of premium sofas, chairs, and luxurious fabrics. I’m thrilled to be joining at such a pivotal time and look forward to helping the team deliver even more value to our customers."
