Founding Duo Leaving Ashford Court
By Cecile B. Corral -- Home Textiles Today, 4/4/2005
Richmond, Va. — Neil Zuber and Amy Bell, who together helped found decorative pillow and top-of-bed supplier Ashford Court just over five years ago, last week resigned as president and executive vice president, respectively.
They are currently exploring other opportunities in the home textiles industry.
Zuber's and Bell's resignations come about 10 months after Ting Xu, the owner and president of decorative accessories importer Evergreen Enterprises Inc., based here, bought majority ownership of Ashford Court. Zuber and Bell were shareholders of the company along with Michael Day, John Yuder and Andy Yuder.
Zuber started his career as a buyer in retail and later moved to the manufacturing and importing side, working in sales, marketing and management.
Bell also began in the retail sector, where she worked the first 10 years in buying. The past 16 years she has spent on the manufacturing and importing side working in sales, design and marketing.
