Fisher & Paykel announces new COO

New Zealand luxury appliance brand, Fisher & Paykel has appointed Stephen Rickersey
as its chief operating officer for the UK, Ireland and Europe.

Commenting on his appointment, Stephen said: “I am joining Fisher & Paykel at a hugely
transformative time for the company. The business is on the cusp of many great things in multiple
channels, and I am thrilled to be leading a team with values of trust, curiosity, generosity,
sustainability and innovation at its core. These values are what drew me to the brand, as well as its
rich New Zealand heritage that is synonymous with a deep connection to food and wine care in the
appliance design world.”

Stephen joins the company from Miele, where he held a senior leadership position as sales director.
Prior to that, Stephen worked at Whirlpool Corporation as Head of Sales. With over seventeen years
of consumer goods experience in customer and category management, Stephen will be steering
Fisher & Paykel’s strategic direction as it continues to further cement its position as the appliance
brand of choice for the luxury market.

2023 continues to be a pivotal year for Fisher & Paykel with a series of exciting new product
launches and company updates reinforcing its position as a strong and relevant partner for kitchen
retailers, architects, designers and premium house builders. The opening of Fisher & Paykel’s first
UK Experience Centre
in London later this year will serve as a major investment into a future
business path, fostering a community-driven approach to the A&D and KBB industry.

Additional investments in talented teams that will influence the designer, architect and builder
communities over the medium to long term are also underway. Further, Fisher & Paykel is also
partaking in an apprenticeship scheme to bridge an industry skill gap and give young people
opportunities.
