Leading industry trade magazine Home Furnishings Business (HFB) is pleased to announce the honorees of its Forty Under 40 Class of 2021, which recognizes young leaders in the home furnishings industry. Now in its eighth year the Forty Under 40, sponsored by Storis, includes stellar individuals whose actions and leadership are driving the industry forward through their commitment to their core values, professional excellence, business growth, and the communities in which they serve. In honor of the inductees, a slideshow is now available here.
Each year, an outstanding group of under 40s are nominated by their peers to be selected as honorees for the Forty Under 40. The purpose is to call attention to the best and brightest up and comers in the industry. The mission is to recognize and celebrate the spirit inherent in these young movers and shakers as they help position themselves and their companies for a successful future.
“The strength of young professionals in the home furnishings industry is something we have always believed in at Home Furnishings Business,” said Bob George, publisher and editor in chief of Home Furnishings Business. “Once again we set out to find the under 40’s who championed the mission of the Forty Under 40 and not surprisingly found 40 of the most committed, hard-working, and innovative individuals to spotlight, thanks to those of you that took the time to nominate them. The Class of 2021 is a most impressive group, and we are thrilled to spotlight them as our way to support, celebrate and connect our community in a meaningful way.”
In addition to the slideshow, the July/August issue of the magazine is dedicated to the Class of 2021 and their achievements. All of the honorees bring something new and exciting to the table, but each shares the same key characteristics of smarts and exuberance. The prestigious honor has a strong impact on the honorees—boosting morale, accelerating career growth, expanding professional networks, and increasing company loyalty.
