Family-owned office products and furnishings dealership Storey Kenworthy | Workspace announced that Ryan Boyington has been promoted to president, effective Jan. 1, and now oversees all day-to-day operations. The move is part of the company’s leadership transition and succession plan as CEO John Kenworthy approaches retirement after more than 30 years with the company, including 12 years as CEO.

“Like many other companies, we have some key individuals approaching retirement age, so it has been a priority to develop a thoughtful, deliberate transition plan as part of the natural progression of our company,” Kenworthy said in a prepared statement.

Kenworthy said he will remain CEO but focus his time on “growth and strategy” for the family of companies, according to a news release.

Boyington, who is the son-in-law of former CEO Dave Kenworthy, is the fourth generation from the family to lead the company. He joined Storey Kenworthy | Workspace in 2014.

“My various roles over the last 10 years, with both Storey Kenworthy and Workspace, have provided me valuable insights and experience regarding our company and the clients we serve,” Boyington said in a prepared statement. “We have a great team in place, we are well-positioned for future growth, and we have a tremendous amount of brand equity in our marketplace, so I am excited about the path forward.”
