ABOUT US
MANAGEMENT (NON EXECUTIVE)
Adam Blandy   Adam Blandy became Chairman of the Group soon after the Portuguese revolution of 1974 and retired in 1985.

“During the revolution, the Group faced many challenges, - notably the control and maintenance of Reid’s Hotel and the closure of the Electronics Assembly Division. Both these businesses employed a considerable workforce that was severely disrupted by union demands and actions taken by extremists. Being a family company, with loyal management and a strong ethical approach to business, enabled us to hold steady against the rising tide. In the years that followed the revolution decisions were taken to concentrate on core business areas and give the Group a new focus, which is the driving force behind the Group today.”
 
 

William Risso Gill   William Risso Gill originally joined the Blandy Group in 1986 as the Board Member responsible for all operations in Portugal and today is a non- executive director for the Group.

“Over the years, Blandy’s has developed a clear working culture in the areas in which it operates. The Group benefits from geographical strength and a depth of experience in our core operating areas. One of our targets is to maintain excellence in our chosen activities, which we do through dedicated industry expert top management. By formulating a clear strategy for the Group and ensuring that this is implemented by the Divisions, we have found that we can take advantage of suitable opportunities without deviating from our vision.”


 
 
 
David Vallat   David joined Blandy’s in 1987 as Group Finance Director.

“The Blandy Group has survived and prospered for many generations, by constantly adapting to changing business environments and by applying high ethical and professional standards. It has not been afraid to exit from traditional businesses or to enter new ones in its chosen area of activity. I believe that the current trend of forming important strategic “know how” alliances and sharing investment in core business areas, is the formula which best suits the profile of the Group within the boundaries of an increasingly specialised world.”
