Prior to that, he has held senior management roles, internationally, at both Ideal Standard and Sanitec.

Sykes will support the strategy of the UK board for growth alongside an ongoing commitment to investment in the organisation and new product development.

The manufacturer recently unveiled its latest bathroom collections of Layla and Zara, at its Future of Sustainable Bathrooms event.

Managing director of Lecico Bathrooms Antony Thompson commented; “We are obviously sad to see Bill go as he has played such a pivotal part in the growth of Lecico in recent years.

“He was inspirational and supportive to us all and we will miss him.

“We are however fortunate in securing Colin to the role of UK chairman to carry on where Bill left off and help us drive our growth agenda to ensure we continue our strong performance in the UK market.”

Lecico Bathrooms employs more than 6,000 people, exports to over 50 countries, and has the capacity to produce more than 6.2 million pieces of sanitaryware per year.
