We’re delighted to welcome three professionals to our leadership team as we continue to strengthen our presence in the chemical supply chain.
Please join us in welcoming Iain Coull, Melanie Sanderson, and Matthew Sanderson as they step into their respective director roles!

Iain has been with Stort Group for 17 years and will be reaffirming his commitment to Stort Group by taking the step up to becoming our Commercial Director of the Industrial BU.

Melanie, daughter of Kendrick Gilkes (Founding Director) joins her siblings on the board of the business, continuing Kendrick’s vision and ensuring the family values that define us remain at the heart of everything we do.

Matthew, the first member of the third generation to join Stort Group 8 years ago, will focus with his Aunt Emma on the Fragrance & Flavours side of the business as Commercial Director of F&F.
Each of them brings invaluable experience and a fresh perspective that will help shape the future of Stort Group. We’re excited for what’s ahead and look forward to the impact they’ll make!
Join us in giving them a warm welcome as they embark on this exciting journey with us!
