The Association of Professional Declutterers and Organisers, the only UK association that sets standards for the professional organising industry, has appointed Stockport based Siân Pelleschi as its new President.

Running her professional decluttering and organising business Sorted! since 2017, Siân has held the position of Conference Director on the APDO Board for two years and has been instrumental in the management and direction of the Association during this time.

As the new President of APDO, Siân will be continuing to drive the growth of the Association, strengthening connections with APDO’s international counterparts and creating a community that is not only inclusive for all, but is also seen and heard leading the way in the professional decluttering and organising industry.

Siân Pelleschi commented: “I am truly honoured to step into the role of President for APDO, as the Association celebrates its 18th year. The APDO community, which strives to help and support others, is so passionate about what we do and has played such a big part in building awareness of professional organising as a service industry.”

Siân added: “It is an exciting time for us, with several significant changes in the pipeline, and I look forward to leading this incredible community of organisers as APDO continues on its upward trajectory.”
