ScS chief financial officer Mark Fleetwood has quit the business following its near £100m takeover deal last year.
Fleetwood, who joined the furniture giant in September from fashion brand END Clothing, is currently working his notice period and continues to support the strategic development of the business.
It is understood that he joined the retailer last year partly because of its listed status, but Fleewtood handed in his resignation after it was taken private in January.

His departure comes as chief executive Steve Carson left the business this month after overseeing ScS’s departure from the London Stock Exchange at the start of the year following the take-private deal up by Italian furniture retailer Poltronesofà in October.
A spokesperson for the ScS Group confirmed in May that Carson “has decided that now is the right time to move on from ScS”.
“He will depart knowing the group’s future is bright, having played a central role in bringing about considerable investment via a new ownership structure and enabling transformative progression with a rebranding exercise”.
This week, the sofa chain unveiled the first eight of its new-look stores that it described as a “radical change in concept and sensory impact”.
It comes as ScS revealed last week it had stopped selling carpets and flooring to align better under its new owner Poltronesofà, which sells only sofas and armchairs.
