Middleby Residential has promoted James Cunningham to group sales director UK. In his new role, he will lead the sales strategy across the entire Middleby Residential brand portfolio in the UK, encompassing Rangemaster, AGA, Leisure Sinks, Rayburn, La Cornue, Novy, and Josper. His leadership will extend across the luxury, trade, retail, domestic, and export sectors, reinforcing Middleby Residential UK’s position in the market.
Cunningham has been with AGA Rangemaster for 20 years, bringing a wealth of experience to his new position. He joined AGA Rangemaster as a product manager in 2005, before being promoted to product marketing manager and subsequently to sales director for sinks & taps, where he played a key role in driving growth and strengthening Rangemaster’s market presence.
His promotion comes at a pivotal time for Middleby Residential UK, as the group continues to invest in factory enhancements and manufacturing upgrades at Rangemaster’s production facilities. These developments mark an important chapter in the company’s history, aligning with the recent appointment of Dominic Worsley as UK group MD.
“I am delighted to step into this new role at such an exciting time for the brands, particularly Rangemaster,” said James Cunningham. “With the investment in manufacturing and a strong portfolio, there is a significant opportunity to further strengthen our presence across multiple sectors. I’m pleased to be supported by an experienced and knowledgeable sales team across our channels, whose strength and expertise will be key as we continue to drive success together.”
Dominic Worsley commented: “James has been instrumental in the success of Rangemaster over the years, and his deep industry knowledge makes him the perfect choice to lead our sales strategy across the Middleby Residential UK brands. His expertise and leadership will be invaluable as we continue to grow and evolve.”
