TAPESTRY SHAPES UP FOR FUTURE

London production company Tapestry has strengthened its team with the appointment of two new board members and a new MD.
Tony Garrett steps up to Managing Director. Garrett joined Tapestry in 1985, as an apprentice, he worked through many departments in the company before progressing into the role of Operations Director in 2012.
He is joined on the board by new appointees, Steve Kemp as Sales Director and Mark Saunders as Technical Director. Advertising Sales Director Craig Ralph completes the line-up.
