Kerr Office Group (KOG) is celebrating 40 years in business in 2026, marking four decades of helping organisations create workspaces where people and businesses can thrive. Founded in 1986 in Swindon by Jonathan (Jon) Kerr, the company has grown from a local office supplies firm into a trusted office interior design and build specialist working with clients across the UK.

​From its earliest days, KOG has been built around an unwavering focus on the client. Jon Kerr launched the business at the age of 21 and combined hands-on project delivery with day-to-day commercial decision-making, putting customer relationships and service at the heart of every decision. Over the years his role has evolved to be less heavily involved in the operational side of the business, enabling him to dedicate even more time to understanding client ambitions and guiding complex workplace projects from concept to completion, ensuring client satisfaction and playing a key role in why so many clients become long-term partners and advocates of the Kerr brand.

Today, KOG remains proudly family-led, with Jon’s son Alex taking over the reins as CEO in 2022 and his other son Harry playing a key role in the business as an Estimator. This next generation of leadership is supported by additional family members within the company, reinforcing a culture where people take ownership, act with accountability and treat each other like family, while still operating at a scale that enables KOG to deliver substantial, complex projects. Clients benefit from a highly personal, relationship-driven approach that consistently exceeds expectations, alongside the depth of expertise, curiosity and delivery capability required to manage large-scale, multi-site programmes.

As clients’ needs have changed, so has KOG. What began as a provider of office products steadily expanded into workplace furniture, interior fit-out and, ultimately, full turnkey design and build services. Today, the company’s network delivers end-to-end solutions, from workplace strategy and space planning through to detailed design, build, furniture and ongoing support, helping organisations navigate new ways of working and get the most from their space.

Over 40 years, Kerr Office Group has partnered with organisations across sectors including technology, professional services and manufacturing, supporting both growing local businesses and well-known national brands. Many relationships span multiple projects and locations, reflecting the firm’s emphasis on trust, accountability and long-term collaboration. This client-centric approach, combined with a focus on quality and attention to detail on site, has earned KOG a reputation for delivering high-performing, people-focused environments.

Jon comments, “Reaching 40 years is a proud moment for our family and our team. When I started the business in 1986, the focus was always on listening to clients, doing the right thing and delivering spaces that genuinely support people at work. Having Alex now leading the business as CEO means those values are carried forward while the company continues to grow. Our clients get the benefit of a personal, family-led approach, backed by a team and network that can confidently deliver major workplace projects.”
