Prior to joining Vispring, Henning global account director for Dyson. Before that he was president for Asia at the Franke Group, which for more than 100 years has specialized in high-end and luxury kitchen systems. Henning brings to his new role experience of the luxury interiors industry and an international perspective as a result

of living and working in continental Europe, Asia and North America. 

“I am delighted to take the helm at Vispring, the quality of its offering and the

expertise of its skilled craftsmen ensure that the product speaks for itself,” Henning said. “Our goal is to not only build the Vispring brand in new markets and forge new retail partnerships, but more fundamentally, to establish the luxury bed segment to ensure the Vispring brand is synonymous with luxury sleep across all markets.”

After a smooth period of transition, Mike will continue to assist the Flex Group as a board member of Vispring and its sister company, And So To Bed, Britain’s premium bedding and bedroom retailer.
