Dan Ide joins Progressive

By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, April 9, 2006

Claremont, N.C. — Case goods and occasional producer Progressive Furniture continues to grow its staff, adding industry veteran Dan Ide as vice president of sales for the eastern region.

Progressive, owned by Sauder Woodworking, acquired Royal Patina in July and has added three executives since then — Tamara Evans, vice president of occasional, entertainment and casual dining for Progressive and its Woodlands Designs division; Dan Kendrick, vice president for domestic products; and Ide.

While Royal Patina is operated as a subsidiary, Ide will be responsible for implementing business plans for both Royal Patina and Progressive to meet growth expectations, according to Rick Stroud, executive vice president of sales and marketing, to whom Ide reports.

Ide joins the company from Orleans, where he was vice president of national accounts for the past year. Previously, he worked for Relax-R, Simmons, Pennsylvania House and Riverside Furniture.
