Summer Classics (SC), a leader in the casual furniture industry, announced today that Schon Duke has joined the organization as the company’s new vice president of Sales for the Wholesale Division.

Schon Duke.

SC is in the final stages of many infrastructure improvements that include hiring more seasoned, senior-level managers as it prepares for growth in the improving economy. Duke began work this week at the opening and relocation of the new corporate headquarters in Pelham, Alabama.
