Founded in 1992, Turnstyle Designs creates architectural hardware in its North Devon-based factory, with showrooms in London and the USA.

Stephen Roberts commented: “I couldn’t be prouder to have someone as capable and passionate as Oscar to take over, he was born in the same year as the company was founded and has Turnstyle in his DNA. It will be exciting to see how the company develops under his leadership.”

After working for the company in various roles throughout his life, Oscar Roberts joined Turnstyle full time in 2018 and comments: “It’s a fantastic time in the businesses lifetime to take this role on. We’ve got a great legacy from which to build but I feel we are only just getting started!”

In his new role, Oscar Roberts has pledged to continue to prioritise sustainability and responsibility in all aspects of the business.

“Reducing the impact we have on the environment around us and ultimately working to restore it should be paramount to every business. We’re doing a lot of good but there is always more we can do”, he said.
