HICKORY, N.C. — Century Furniture has hired Alexa Keaney as director of marketing and Justin Binnix as vice president of case goods and outdoor merchandising.

In her new position, she reports to Comer Wear, vice president of marketing, and will be responsible for helping set strategic marketing goals for Century and sister company Highland House, part of the Rock House Farm family of brands. She also will be responsible for helping create marketing content in partnership with its customers.
Binnix comes to the company after a 32-year career at home furnishings and design resource Niermann Weeks, the past 15 and a half years of which he was president. Before that, he was product development director and before that was production manager. In his new position, he will lead Century’s case goods and outdoor product development teams and oversee the strategic direction and growth of the divisions.
He reports to Alex Shuford III, president and chief executive officer of Century Furniture and RHF Investments.
