Jim Orr has stepped down from the role of group chief executive at Minerva Furniture Group.
Jim joined Minerva from Furniture Village at the start of 2023, replacing longtime group business manager Roy Beagent. Jim worked as Furniture Village's head of buying from 2016 to 2022, and with Achica (World Stores) and Dreams before that.
The buying group says that, during this transition period, its board will collectively assume senior leadership responsibilities, "ensuring continuity and stability within the organisation". Concurrently, it will initiate a recruitment process to identify a suitable successor to lead Minerva Furniture Group into its next phase of growth and development.
"The board remains committed to maintaining stability and continuing to build on the buying group's strategic initiatives," states the group in a statement issued to members. "Further updates will be provided as the recruitment process progresses.
"The Minerva board extends its gratitude to Jim for his contributions and wishes him the best in his future endeavours. For members' enquiries going forward, please contact Stacy Nicholas, office manager, or one of her team members, who will be able to assist."
