Peppers Cable Glands, a long-standing name in hazardous area cable gland technology, has entered a significant new chapter in its leadership journey. On 1st August 2025, Tush Thakore officially stepped down as Managing Director after more than two decades in the role.
Tush’s tenure with the company spans an impressive forty years, beginning as Stock Controller before rising through the ranks to Sales Manager, Commercial Manager, and ultimately, Managing Director. His leadership helped transform Peppers from a trusted UK supplier into a globally recognised player, known for its commitment to quality, integrity, and technical excellence.
Colleagues and industry peers cite Tush’s people-first approach and strategic vision as instrumental in shaping Peppers’ strong reputation across international markets. His focus on long-term customer relationships and product standards helped strengthen the company’s place in the global hazardous area sector.
Though stepping down from the top role, he will remain closely connected to the business as a Director, continuing to offer strategic business advice and support.
Looking ahead, General Manager Grayham steps into a leading role, guiding Peppers into an exciting new chapter. Grayham played a pivotal role in shaping the business’s commercial strategy, driving recent investments in manufacturing capability. His appointment marks the beginning of a forward-thinking new era.
Under Grayham’s leadership, Peppers has expanded its Quick Response Cell and introduced new milling technology to enhance production speed and flexibility. The company is also placing greater emphasis on global market responsiveness and sustainable growth.
“This is an exciting time for Peppers,” said Grayham. “Tush has created something incredibly special here – a business built on values that customers trust. My job now is to carry those values forward while making sure we’re evolving in the right areas – investing in innovation, deepening our partnerships, and remaining agile in a changing market.”
Peppers continues to expand its global presence, supplying industries from oil and gas to renewables and manufacturing with technically robust solutions for hazardous environments. As the company looks forward to a new and exciting era, its commitment to excellence remains unchanged.
