Tashjian out at Century after job cuts

Staff -- Furniture Today, March 30, 2009

Ed Tashjian has left high-end manufacturer Century Furniture because his job as vice president of marketing was eliminated.

Century cut the post "due to poor economic conditions and reduced spending in the marketing area," said Tashjian. He was with the company for about 11 years.

Century President and CEO Alex Shuford said the company has cut some positions since this past fall, adjusting its staffing for the weak economic climate. He said he thinks the world of Tashjian. "We're going to miss him."

Century is still working out details on how Tashjian's duties will be covered, but some will now fall to Chief Customer Officer Bob Johnson.

"We've seen some decreases in incoming orders like everybody else, and we think this is not going to be just a little bump in the road," Shuford said. "We're just trying to size our business to what I see coming over the next year or so."

A 20-year industry veteran, Tashjian said he hopes to remain in the furniture business.
