Storey Kenworthy & Workspace Marks 90 Years of Serving Iowa Businesses and Communities
Fourth-generation company marks nine decades of growth, relationships and commitment to Iowa communities
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
