Kitchen and bedroom supplier Caple has announced the promotion of Nick Lay as Company Sales Manager; with the role focusing on driving growth and innovation in the years ahead.

The appointment comes further to the retirement of Vito Cataldo, who dedicated over 40 years to Caple.

Lay brings a deep understanding of Caple’s operations and customer relationships, having worked at Caple for six years, progressing from his former role as Field Sales Support Manager.

He said: “I’m excited to continue the excellent work Vito has achieved and proud to represent the Caple brand as we move forward.

"Looking ahead Caple’s 2026 vision is clear. We will increase brand visibility through targeted consumer engagement and brand awareness campaigns; strengthen relationships with existing clients, delivering consistent value and support; and expand national accounts, pursuing new partnerships and scaling successful programs for long-term growth.”

Danny Lay, Caple's Managing Director, commented: “The market remains competitive; but with a strong brand, innovative products, and a dedicated team, we are confident in our ability to grow and adapt.”

Reflecting on his career, retiring Sales Manager Vito Cataldo said: “Having joined Maurice Lay in 1986, I could never have imagined announcing my retirement 40 years later with the same company. My passion has always been forging strong business relationships and maintaining successful accounts, and I sincerely hope that remains my legacy.”

Danny Lay added: “Vito has been instrumental in shaping Caple’s sales strategy and supporting the team through decades of growth and change. His dedication and warmth have left an indelible mark on the business.”
