Buster + Punch, the London-based home fashion label, has appointed Heath Houston as its Vice President of Sales for North America. The addition comes after a strategic evaluation of market demand, aiming to further enhance the brand’s presence in the region, according to a news release.
“Buster + Punch has experienced unprecedented growth and recognition in North America over the past three years due to the support of our dealer partners, the A+D community, and our passionate fan base,” said David Schlocker, President of Buster + Punch.
“To strategically increase market share across several customer segments and build out the proper operational resources to deliver exceptional customer support and product delivery, we added a seasoned and experienced member to our North American team,” he added. “We welcome Heath to our leadership team, and look forward to his guidance on our sales initiatives, and his support as an additional ambassador of our evocative brand.”
Previously, Houston held the position of Senior Sales Manager of National Accounts at Arteriors Home, where he was involved with building the international business in the UK/EMEA, and sales strategy and management for lighting showroom marketing channels for North America.
In his new role, Houston will focus on developing Buster + Punch’s lighting and hardware retail and distribution channels, as well as its architecture and design trade alliances. He will also oversee and closely support the regional sales management team and sales agent network.
“Since my time living in the UK, I have admired and followed the global growth of Buster + Punch,” Houston said. “I am excited to join the team to help facilitate its continued expansion across North America, and I look forward to building upon the young brand’s budding legacy in that market. It’s an honor to become part of the team and serve as an ambassador for a brand whose visionary offerings I have long respected.”
Buster + Punch is a home fashion label with roots in custom motorcycle design and the fluid energy of London’s sub-culture scene. Formed in 2013 by renowned architect, Massimo Buster Minale, the brand uses rare solid metals and precise engineering to transform everyday fittings into extraordinary home details.
For over a decade, the brand has elevated architectural detailing — cabinet and door hardware, switches and outlets, lighting, faucets, shelves, and more — into statement pieces that exude quality with keen attention to detail. Buster + Punch is known as a master of metal to industry insiders, creating sophisticated, functional pieces that enhance the spaces they inhabit with passion and individuality. Notable collaborations with names like Travis Barker, Jon Olsson, Tom Sellers and The Oppenheim Group of “Selling Sunset,” blend design with fashion, music, art and culture.
