The CEO of carpet manufacturer Brintons, Duccio Baldi, is celebrating a decade at the helm of the heritage carpet brand.
Duccio Baldi was appointed CEO of Brintons in 2014 with the aim to modernise the business and propel it towards another generation of success. This year, Duccio celebrates 10 years at the helm of the business.
He comments on navigating changes to the luxury carpet market over the past 10 years: “It’s been a challenging few years in the industry, especially as the Covid-19 pandemic impacted the hospitality market and as a result, people weren’t traveling.
“However, we had a steady stream of mid-size hotel refurbishments throughout the pandemic, and we’re starting to see large projects return to our books as the market recovers. For example, we’ve just received a $2.3 million order for the Gaylord Pacific Resort and Convention Center in San Diego.
“This year, we expect to be just shy of our pre-Covid turnover, but we anticipate full market recovery to flush out the ‘Covid effect’ within the next year. This has been evidenced by the return of refurbishment work in the cruise sector, which is expected to experience continuous growth in coming years.”
