Revington has served as the second ranking officer at the company for more than two years, and has been involved with HMI for a total of 18 years in the chief executive role.

“For 18 years, it has been my passion to create HMI to be a different kind of company in our industry—forward-looking technologically advanced and lean,” said Revington. “It has been a great ride with many wonderful people. At the same time, there are other adventures that I’d like to pursue in my personal interests and in business.”

“George’s strategic vision, and his ability to develop ground-breaking strategies and successfully implement them, is as good as I have ever experienced,” said Paul Toms, chairman and CEO of Hooker Furniture. “We appreciate his contributions and service, and have enjoyed working with him for the past two and a half years.”

“I want to thank all of the smart, determined people who built HMI from humble beginnings in Phoenix, Ariz., and who lived the HMI culture,” Revington said. “I also thank the trusted partners in Asia for their incredible hard work and willingness to adapt. And I thank our retail partners, whose openness created truly collaborative relationships that are the basis for sustainable competitive advantage for both parties.

“Hooker Furniture and HMI have the strategies and people in place to continue to grow, and are extremely well-positioned to be a major force in the industry. I wish everyone the very best,” he added.
