London, 16th May 2024 — After an impressive 17-year tenure, Simon Drakeford, CEO of EO Group, is stepping down to pursue new business ventures. Having guided EO Group from a modest operation to a dynamic market leader in software and services solutions, Simon’s departure marks the end of a transformational era for the company.

Effective immediately, Nick Wilson (CFO) and Richard Sinclair (COO), will step into the roles of co-CEOs. This marks the beginning of a new chapter for EO Group and its brands, including Office Power, which has been a central player in the company’s growth.

Reflecting on the transition, Simon expressed his confidence in the new leadership team: “The business is in great shape, so the timing is right, I am convinced that they will do an amazing job in taking the company forward. Along with Mark Heath (MD Office Power) and Danny Berendsen (MD Euroffice) I can’t think of a better leadership team to exploit our future opportunities.”

A New Leadership Structure for Office Power

Nick Wilson and Richard Sinclair’s appointment as co-CEOs reflects a shared vision for the future of EO Group. Both bring extensive experience and complementary skill sets to their new roles. Nick, with his financial expertise, and Richard, with his operational & Technical leadership, are well-equipped to guide the group and Office Power into the next growth phase.

Alongside them, Mark Heath will continue to drive Office Power’s strategy as Managing Director. His deep understanding of the workplace supplies sector and his leadership ensures Office Power will remain at the forefront of innovation and customer-focused solutions.

Together, Nick, Richard, and Mark form a dynamic leadership team ready to navigate the challenges and opportunities in the rapidly evolving industry, laying the foundation for Office Power’s next chapter of success.
