Solus Garden & Leisure appoints Mark Pearson as new CEO
 

Solus Garden & Leisure, suppliers of the Bermuda water gardening and Chapelwood wild bird food brands, has appointed former Gardman CEO Mark Pearson as its new chief executive officer. 

Mark joins Solus with immediate effect, with managing director Nick Davies resigning from the company. He is leaving in January to start up a new business. Solus founder Simon Yealland remains as chairman. 

Commenting on the changes, Solus commercial director Ross Yealland said:

“I am delighted that Mark has joined Solus. He brings with him a wealth of experience in the UK and international gardening industry, and joins us at a time when we are making a number of strategic investments to drive the business of our customers, our branded distribution partners and Solus own brands.

Simon Yealland added:

“Nick Davies has made a significant contribution to Solus in the 29 years since he joined the company, and he leaves with our thanks and best wishes for the future.”
