Bell rings the changes with new director

Northampton-based retailer Bell – The Home has appointed Richard Kingston to its board of directors.

Kingston the company 11 years ago as its online manager. He spearheaded the creation of its e-commerce department, with its website going live in the summer of 2014.

In May 2019, Kingston was promoted to manager of e-commerce and fires and stoves before moving up to departmental director of fires, stoves and outdoor living across the company – both online and in store – in December 2021.

“Being made a member of the board means everything to me,” said Kingston. “It represents one of the proudest milestones in my career, signifying the trust and confidence placed in my abilities, experience and vision by my peers and the organisation.

“This role is not just a recognition of my professional journey to date, but also an incredible opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the strategic direction and success of Bell.”
