Restore has built market leading positions with a focus on acquisitions to build scale. Recently, with this scale, the strategy has evolved to deliver more consistent organic growth, efficiency and margin improvement, supported with continued significant acquisitions.
In March 2019 Charles Bligh joined Restore as CEO, closely followed by Neil Ritchie as CFO and further changes in the Executive Team which kick started the recent evolution of Restore as a business.
In 2019 a new strategy was announced to drive further significant growth across all markets. It combines a disciplined approach to acquisitions to drive further scale and new capability, consistent organic growth and using our new scale to drive our costs down to maintain a strong competitive advantage. The organic growth was spearheaded by cross selling across the five businesses to each other’s customer base.
In 2020 Restore created its first Executive Committee. This included the CEO, CFO, the Managing Directors of all businesses, the Company Secretary, the Chief People Officer, and the Director of Corporate Development. This formalisation of a ONE Restore leadership team across the Group allowed the ambitious strategy to come to life, particularly looking at synergies and opportunities across Restore to deliver more value to customers.
Exciting, dynamic and agile Restore is well placed to grow
Restore’s leadership team has changed significantly over the last three years, to allow the business to develop further with a formal business strategy; clear KPIs and an equal focus on organic growth and acquisition.
