A.R.T. Furniture announces the appointment of Roland Maddrey as Vice President of Sales. Maddrey takes the position following the recent announcement of Bryan Edwards becoming President of A.R.T. Furniture.
Maddrey will work directly with and oversee all of the sales representatives for the U.S., as well as the international sales team. Most recently, Maddrey was Vice President of Sales at Samuel Lawrence Furniture and previously held similar sales positions at Universal Furniture, Lea Furniture and Broyhill Furniture. Maddrey’s experience working with retailers and online vendors, helping to grow sales in casegoods and upholstery, made him the ideal candidate to help A.R.T. Furniture continue to grow sales domestically and internationally.
“Roland is one of those exceptional, focused and personable people that makes working in the home furnishings industry so exciting,” says Edwards. “I had worked with Roland previously and look forward to working together again as A.R.T. Furniture grows our presence and our brand."
“A.R.T. Furniture has been a formidable competitor in the last 15 years, when it first started, and I’m excited to work with our reps, team captains and dealers to continue to grow and follow the incredible path that has been forged,” said Maddrey.
“As A.R.T. looks at the next 5 years and beyond, our commitment to having key executives as part of our team is a major factor in our hiring process,” commented Jeff Cook, CEO, A.R.T. Furniture. “Roland Maddrey has the experience, drive and strategic thinking to keep us growing and gaining more key dealers; we are thrilled to have Roland on our team.”
Maddrey will report to Edwards and will be based in the High Point, NC, office.
