Office Principles has strengthened its established senior team with the recruitment of an experienced Group Finance Director.
Office Principles has appointed Tristan Haigh to help shape its financial strategy and accelerate business growth. Tristan has more than 25 years’ experience in finance and operations at a senior level, with a multi-industry background that includes roles with major furniture and manufacturing brands.
He joins Office Principles from US furniture manufacturer La-Z-Boy where he served as Finance Director of the firm’s international division, having previously led the re-acquisition of its UK-based subsidiary.
I’m very pleased to be joining Office Principles at such an exciting period in its growth and development. I’ve been hugely impressed by the company’s ambition, innovation and purpose-driven ethos during my early discussions with the leadership team. My priority is to provide strategic financial counsel that underpins our sustainable expansion plans. I look forward to using my prior experience of spearheading transformation, growth initiatives and operational enhancements for global brands, to help accelerate Office Principles’ bold and ambitious vision.
As Group Finance Director, he will provide financial insights and counsel to inform smart investments and simplify financial reporting. By streamlining systems and honing in on core KPIs, he will help the leadership team access better data to drive decisions.
With his method of facilitating executive teams to challenge existing operations and maximise strengths, Tristan is well-positioned to advise on overcoming weaknesses and staying ahead of competitors. His fresh vision stands to elevate Office Principles' financial strategy and propel the next stage of growth.
Tristan’s 25 years of leading finance and operations for globally recognised brands make him a significant addition to our leadership team. His impressive track record of driving growth, facilitating strategic acquisitions, and delivering financial insight informed by market trends, will be invaluable to us as we progress our ambitious development plans. I have no doubt that Tristan’s know-how, leadership, and business acumen will further bolster our efforts to remain at the forefront of the sector.
