Middleby Residential has appointed Dominic Worsley as its new UK group managing director. Worsley will oversee Middleby Residential’s prestigious portfolio of luxury appliance brands, including AGA, Rangemaster, Rayburn, La Cornue, Novy, and Josper.

Worsley joins Middleby Residential from CDA, where his leadership significantly increased market share over the past two years. With extensive experience in sales and marketing, he previously held key positions at Groupe SEB, where he successfully launched Tefal in major retailers, and at Disney, where he created impactful retail events for significant franchises.

His return to the kitchen industry includes leading Miele UK’s marketing and retail sales, contributing to the brand’s premium positioning, and becoming the company’s first non-German global marketing director.

Worsley reflected on his new role: “I’m inspired by the heritage of the AGA Rangemaster brands and the passion of the teams I’ve met. With over a century of UK manufacturing legacy, I see tremendous opportunities to drive innovative marketing and sales activities that will enhance consumer interest in these iconic brands.”

Middleby Residential Group president Najib Maalouf commented: “While we typically promote from within, we recognise the need for fresh talent. Dominic’s extensive experience in the luxury market and his enthusiasm for our brands will be invaluable as we continue to grow.”
