New CEO announced for Tom Howley parent company BHID Group

BHID Group has announced the promotion of Kevin Holmes to CEO, with responsibility for the group’s 3 leading interiors brands: Tom Howley, Neville Johnson, and London Door Company.

Holmes joined BHID Group in August 2025 as MD of Tom Howley, bringing extensive experience in business transformation, strategic growth, operational leadership, and brand development. His previous senior roles include transformation director at Glen Dimplex, MD of Dimplex UK, and MD of Morphy Richards. Since joining Tom Howley, he has worked closely with the business’s leaders to set its strategic direction and deliver strong commercial and operational performance. He has also demonstrated a clear commitment to developing the team, building on the brand’s established reputation for exceptional British craftsmanship, quality, and customer service.

His promotion recognises the contribution he has made to Tom Howley and reflects BHID Group’s confidence in his leadership as the business continues to develop the potential of its portfolio of premium interiors and design brands. His appointment as CEO coincides with Neville Johnson’s 40th anniversary, and Kevin will help drive the brand’s next phase of growth while honouring its heritage.

As CEO, Holmes will lead the Group’s strategic direction, working with the leadership teams across all 3 brands to support their continued development, strengthen performance, and identify opportunities for growth – while preserving the distinctive identities and expertise of each brand. Additionally, Sonia Davies, formerly executive chair of BHID Group, will continue to play an important role in the business, working alongside Kevin as she transitions into a non-executive chair role.

“I’m delighted to see Kevin appointed as CEO of BHID Group. I’ve seen firsthand the leadership, enthusiasm and strategic vision he has brought to the continued growth and evolution of Tom Howley. I’m excited for him to bring that same energy and ambition to Neville Johnson. I look forward to supporting Kevin and the wider leadership team as we embark on this exciting next chapter for the group,” said Davies.

Kevin Holmes said: “I'm delighted to take on this role and lead BHID Group. Each of our brands has its own heritage, strengths, and relationship with its customers, underpinned by talented craftspeople and a shared commitment to quality and service. My priority is to build on those strong foundations, working with our teams to ensure each business continues to evolve in response to customer needs and market opportunities. That means investing in our people, continually improving the customer experience, and thinking differently about how we grow – while staying true to what makes each brand special. I'm excited about what we can achieve together across Tom Howley, Neville Johnson and London Door Company.”
