ScS chief executive Steve Carson is stepping down from the business following its near £100m takeover deal last year.
Carson, who will leave this summer, oversaw the furniture specialist’s departure from the London Stock Exchange after it was snapped up by Italian furniture retailer Poltronesofà in October.
He joined SCS in 2020 from Holland & Barrett, where he spent almost three years as its managing director.

A spokesperson for the ScS Group 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’. Steve departs in July and will ensure a smooth transition.”
