DES MOINES, Iowa — Sept. 2, 2026 — Storey Kenworthy & Workspace is celebrating its

90th anniversary, marking nine decades of serving businesses and communities across

Iowa while continuing a legacy of family leadership, strong relationships and forward-

thinking solutions.

Since its founding in 1936, Storey Kenworthy & Workspace has grown from a local,

relationship-driven business into a trusted partner with an expanding geographic reach and

range of capabilities. The company employs more than 160 Iowans across eight locations

and serves organizations and communities throughout Iowa and across the Midwest.

Today, under fourth-generation leadership, the company remains grounded in the core

values that have defined it for nearly a century while continuing to reinvest in its people,

solutions and future growth.

“I have been fortunate to follow in the footsteps of past family leaders who built a strong

foundation and vision for the company,” said CEO John Kenworthy. “I’ve worked to surround

myself with exceptional leaders, team members, and mentors who challenge and support

me to grow every day. I’m proud to help lead the organization and position the next

generation of family leadership for continued success.”

Throughout its 90-year history, the organization has evolved alongside the needs of its

customers and the changing workplace. That ability to adapt while maintaining a

commitment to its people, customers, and communities continues to shape the

company’s direction. The company and its employees remain actively involved in

supporting Iowa communities through volunteerism, charitable giving, and local nonprofit

partnerships.

“Reaching 90 years is a milestone we’re incredibly proud of, and it provides a strong

foundation for the future,” said President Ryan Boyington. “We are focused on evolving and

modernizing our capabilities while staying true to what got us here: delivering solutions for

a changing workplace, investing in our team, and supporting the communities that have

supported us for decades.”About Storey Kenworthy & Workspace
