ScS chief executive to step down

ScS chief executive Steve Carson is to step down this summer after nearly four years in the role.

Carson oversaw the retailer being taken private after it accepted a takeover deal by Italian furniture retailer Poltronesofà last autumn. The deal valued the Sunderland-based firm at £99.4 million.

A spokesperson from ScS told City AM: “Steve has decided that now is the right time to move on from ScS.

“He will depart knowing the group’s future is bright, having played a central role in bringing about considerable investment via a new ownership structure and enabling transformative progression with a rebranding exercise.

“He leaves with a strong legacy and the thanks of the entire business and new ownership for his effort and drive in pursuit of a clear purpose to support customers in helping create a ‘home they love’.”

Carson will leave the business in July to ensure a smooth transition.
