C&T Matrix appoints new Finance Director

C&T Matrix has appointed Richard Lashbrooke as Finance Director, effective from 1 July 2026, succeeding Justin Smith, who will be moving on from the business.

Lashbrooke (pictured above), joined C&T Matrix in September 2025 as Financial Controller and has played a key role in leading the Group’s financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, cash management and audit processes. Working closely with the leadership team, he has also supported strategic decision-making through financial analysis and commercial insight.

His appointment comes as C&T Matrix continues to strengthen its business and support its long-term strategic objectives following the recent relocation of its manufacturing operations to a new facility in Poole, Dorset.

Lashbrooke said, “Justin’s guidance and support since I joined C&T Matrix have been invaluable. I look forward to building on the work already underway and continuing our journey towards a strong and successful future for C&T Matrix.”
