HOM Furniture announced the development of a new Contract and Commercial Sales Division. Helping eliminate brokers and second-tier sales organizations, the new sales division capitalizes on HOM’s inventory strength and the resource of a global buying team.
Judy Lucas, will spearhead this new Contract & Commercial Sales group. As Commercial Consultant, Lucas will provide professional sales and design services to the resort/hotel/lodging, restaurant/foodservice, membership/country clubs and corporate business communities. Capabilities range from designing and remodeling a single-person business to a large resort or rapidly-growing company, and reach organizations in the Upper Midwest as well as across the nation.
A team of award-winning, ASID-certified designers will be at Lucas’ disposal to assist with client needs and projects—big or small—in many key furniture categories like patio and outdoor, sofas and chairs, office furniture, indoor dining, pub tables and stools, area rugs and mattresses. And custom-designed contract furniture projects can be developed with any unique need in mind.
Lucas brings to HOM significant experience and seasoned leadership in commercial product sales as well as in product sourcing and buying. Since 1993, Lucas has focused on building customer relationships and servicing commercial accounts—growing commercial sales volume from year to year and consistently ranked as the top sales performer on her team.
Lucas stays involved in several community service initiatives, including the annual ASID Showcase Home event that benefits local charities. Among many professional affiliations, she is a member of the Builders Association of Twin Cities, Minnesota Housing Association, the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) and Hospitality Minnesota’s Restaurant Association, Lodging Association and Resort & Campground Association.
