A Scottish company that makes luxury mattresses for the blind, partially blind, and disabled has expanded its board with the appointment of two new directors.
Glencraft, which has been making mattresses in its factory in Aberdeen for nearly 200 years, says Laura Bruce and Allan Clow will help the company "ensure that every hand-crafted product creates a positive social impact," the Scotsman reports.
Bruce, an investment executive and employee director of employee-owned business advisory organization UMi, and Clow, the managing director of Banchory-based Bancon Homes and Bancon Construction, join current non-executive directors Jonathan Smith, chairman of Glencraft, and Leigh Stott, head of human resources at an energy services firm, taking the Glencraft board to four.
