A ROCKING BEGINNING
Southern
Motion™ was founded in 1996 in Pontotoc,
Mississippi, by Guy Lipscomb and Larry
Todd. Guy’s leadership in the sales,
marketing and financial arenas combined with Larry’s expertise in manufacturing
and operations made up a winning combination that has endured for 12 years.
The
idea was simple: manufacture only reclining furniture and make it better than
anyone ever had. All they needed was a
name. One day while Guy and his wife,
Sandy, were shopping, they happened across a painting entitled “Southern Motion”
by a Birmingham, Alabama artist. The painting served not only as the
inspiration for the company’s name, it also embodies the spirit of the product
to be manufactured---relaxed and comfortable furniture.
Since
1996 when the first sofa was produced, audited results tell the story as the company
closed in on being one of the top 5 manufacturers of reclining furniture.
