Greensboro, N.C. — Retail veteran Larry Chilton has joined supplier Pennsylvania House as director of marketing.

He will report to Tom Halvorsen, who has taken on added responsibility with a promotion to senior vice president of sales and marketing. Previously, he was senior vice president of sales at the La-Z-Boy division.
