Flexible, Responsive, Customer Centered
Our Team:
Steve Hendrick
As President and CEO of RC Hospitality, Steve makes sure the entire RC Hospitality team performs their duties with a customer centered mind set. Over forty years ago, after graduating from the University of Texas, Steve began his career in the furniture industry. Starting out with Century Furniture for the first twenty-five years, his responsibilities included key account management and product development. Before it became obvious, Steve predicted the shift to imported furniture and founded his own family owned company. In the beginning the focus was on the OEM and retail sectors. However, RC Hospitality has found its home in the hospitality industry. Although we source from India and Mexico, the vast majority of our FF&E items come from China. We have found that for variety of materials, large capacity and an incredible work ethic, China is the best country in the world to manufacture furniture that is both beautiful and durable. This is why Steve recently completed his sixty fourth trip to China.
