Crouch named sales VP at importer G&J Styles
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, April 11, 2004
ARCHDALE, N.C. — Industry veteran Ron Crouch has joined G&J Styles, an importer of English and French antique reproductions, in the new position of vice president of sales and marketing.
Crouch, who reports to Glyn Styles, president and owner, will lead the company's efforts to expand distribution to major U.S. retailers.
G&J Styles' line includes solid oak and walnut case goods, occasional and accent furniture and leather upholstery, all sourced in China. The company said it needed a more focused sales effort after fast growth in the wake of moving its corporate operations from the United Kingdom to Archdale in 1999.
Most recently, Crouch ran his own sales and marketing firm, Austin-Gray, where he spearheaded efforts for Royal Patina and Carolina Mattress Guild.
Crouch began his furniture career in the late 1970s as a sales representative for Erwin Lambeth, a designer-oriented furniture supplier. Later, he was a sales and marketing executive at Christopher James, Broyhill and American Drew before joining Universal Furniture as vice president of sales for the southeast United States and general manager of Alexander Julian Upholstery.
He left Universal in 2000.
"This diverse and extensive background provides the kind of experience, leadership qualities and industry relationships that are needed at this time for our business to continue to grow," said Styles.
G&J has offices and a 70,000-square-foot distribution center here. Its High Point showroom is space 103 of Hamilton Market.
