The combination of VSS and WestPoint Home will create a world leading textile business with a dominant position in the hospitality sector. The VSS management team will look to accelerate the impressive rate of growth that has already been achieved across Europe, the Middle East and Asia with a new push into North America.
Dan Wright, the Executive Chairman and founder of VSS, responsible for its development to this point, will step down after the transaction to concentrate on his other business interests.

The insightful advice and considerable efforts of Rickitt Mitchell, in delivering this transaction and supporting the entire VSS team throughout this process has been outstanding.”
