FORT MYERS, Fla. - Becky Sturdivant-French has been named national sales manager of Suncoast Furniture, company President Rajiv Varshney announced.

"Becky's close working relationships and credibility with casual furniture retailers and her industry experience and expertise in design and marketing gives us a fresh approach and new direction on which to build," Varshney said. Suncoast has the facility, equipment, quality craftsman and trained customer service personnel to easily accommodate the additional growth, he said.

Active in the casual furniture industry for 20 years, Becky was one of the original founders of CFI Manufacturing/Carter Grandle Furniture and served as vice president of sales and marketing during the company's transition from being solely a cushion producer to becoming a furniture supplier. She went on to work with Suncoast Furniture as national sales manager from 2001-2004 and most recently worked as sales representative for Suncoast and other major lines in the state of Florida.

"This is another fresh opportunity and exciting new challenge for the Suncoast family and me to achieve together," Sturdivant said. "I'm so fortunate to have such a large network of friends and supporters in the industry. Suncoast has made major changes in the structure of the company over the last three years and our ultimate focus is completely on dealer satisfaction."
