SHEPEL’, the multi-brand design studio and custom furniture manufacturer, has announced the appointment of Iain O’Mahony as Chief Operating Officer.

Iain O’Mahony brings decades of experience to SHEPEL’ having worked at the highest end of the British kitchen market – including long and fruitful roles within the two legacy names of UK luxury furniture – Mark Wilkinson and latterly Smallbone of Devizes. His experience also includes a period at Linley. Operating in the luxury space in the UK and the US, O’Mahony will bring his industry knowledge to strengthen SHEPEL’ as a global full-service solution for curated luxury interiors.

O’Mahony will be overseeing the SHEPEL’ family of brands – Atelier Helen, Studio Shepel, Shepel Furniture and S-Contract. Atelier Helen offers personalised joinery and custom kitchens for residential properties. Studio Shepel is a global interior design studio that specialises in curating luxury homes and commercial spaces. Shepel Furniture handcrafts elegant bespoke furniture, whilst S-Contract manufactures pieces tailored for commercial interiors and trade clients.

Discussing his new appointment at SHEPEL’, Iain O’Mahony states, “My decision to work with Alex, Helen and the SHEPEL’ brand come as the result of a long search and a final epiphany in finding a company that meets both my expectations on how a luxury company should act and an owner that values and cherishes craft, design and their HNW clients. I am delighted to join the SHEPEL’ team as the brand looks to prepare for the next chapter of an ambitious growth plan.”

Alexander Shepel, Co-Founder of SHEPEL’ states, “We are delighted for Iain O’Mahony to join the SHEPEL’ team as Chief Operating Officer.
