[Editor’s note: As AM went to press, we received news that Sandicliffe managing director Richard Hobbs had been involved in a traffic accident. He is recovering at QMC Nottingham following the incident on April 2. The magazine extends its warmest regards to him and his family and hopes for a swift and full recovery from his injuries.]

Reg Tutt stepped down as managing director at the start of 2017, after 24 years with the East Midlands-based group. His successor is Richard Hobbs, previously the group’s head of retail sales. Hobbs was appointed after a rigorous process that began almost two years ago, when Tutt  announced his intention to retire.
