Preston-based Clearview Home Improvements has appointed Phil O’Malley as operations director.

Phil has been tasked with driving expansion following the company's record-breaking year of revenues, in which it recorded £15m in sales between June and December. The company now plans to grow a further 50 per cent by 2024.

Phil, who brings more than 20 years of industry experience to the role, said: "Clearview has forged a hugely impressive reputation over the past decade as one of the leading home improvement providers across the North West. To be given the opportunity to help guide the business to even loftier heights is incredibly exciting."

Greg Kane, CEO at Conservatory Outlet Group which owns Clearview Home Improvements, said: "To bring in someone of Phil’s calibre, with a proven track record of success within our industry, is only going to strengthen Clearview’s position going forward.

"We’ve set ourselves some really ambitious growth targets over the next few years to grow by 50% and we’re all delighted to have him on board. It’s shaping up to be a really exciting year for the business."

Phil’s appointment to the Clearview senior leadership team follows the appointment of Phil Brown as managing director in December 2020.
