Furniture and flooring retailer ScS has bolstered its burgeoning growth plans with a number of senior management appointments. The group has appointed Chris Muir as its new chief financial officer, who will also have responsibility for IT, business reporting and company secretarial matters.

Kevin Royal, formerly the group's sales director, has been appointed as ScS’s new managing director having been with the company for 15 years. Marie Liston, formerly the group's HR director, has taken up the new role of corporate services director. Her new role will see her continue to oversee its HR operations with additional responsibility for customer service, internal audit, health and safety and regulatory compliance, central administration and property functions.
