Morrells Woodfinishes has appointed Emanuele Gelosa as President, bringing an accomplished international coatings and manufacturing leader to the business as it enters its next phase of growth. Gelosa will lead the company's strategic, commercial and operational activities across the UK and international markets.

Gelosa brings more than a decade of leadership experience spanning Europe and North America. Raised in Italy and Australia, he has held senior positions with Haworth, ICA and the San Marco Group, building a reputation for driving commercial growth, leading organizational transformation and developing high-performing teams.

"Emanuele combines strategic vision with deep commercial and operational experience," said Johnny Green, President of ICG. "His international perspective and proven leadership record make him well suited to lead Morrells through its next chapter of growth."
