Sterling Furniture Group has announced a change in leadership with the departure of CEO John Pattison, who leaves after just over a year in charge. Pattison, formerly the commercial director at ScS, succeeded long-time leader Gordon Mearns in 2023. The privately-owned retailer, Scotland's largest furniture group, confirmed Pattison's decision to step down to pursue other interests, expressing gratitude for his contributions during his tenure.

Alongside Pattison's departure, Sterling introduced Bernard Dunn as its new non-executive chair. Dunn, appointed on October 4, brings extensive leadership experience from his role as the former head of TL Dallas, a Scottish insurance agency. His background in strategic management and his board roles with organisations like Cerebral Palsy Scotland will play a key part in guiding Sterling through its next phase of growth.
Sterling's executive team remains in place as the company searches for a new CEO, and it remains confident in its direction as it works to further strengthen its position in the market.
