Veteran Steelcase dealer executive to lead Storr’s next chapter across North Carolina

Raleigh, NC & Chicago, IL — [June 3, 2026] Storr Office Environments today announced that Trevor Croghan will join the company as its next Chief Executive Officer.

Trevor begins on-site August 3, 2026, and will work with Storr’s leadership team in the interim on planning, customer engagement, and transition priorities. He succeeds Tom Vande Guchte, who alongside Bob Schanz spent more than three decades building Storr into one of the Southeast’s most trusted workplace solutions companies before positioning it for continued growth through its acquisition by The Zaf Group (TZG) in 2025.

Trevor joins Storr from One Workplace, one of the nation’s largest Steelcase dealer organizations, where he spent 19 years in progressively senior roles. A San Francisco Bay Area native, he founded One Workplace’s Learning Environments division, led healthcare and government sales, directed enterprise growth strategy, oversaw Washington state operations in Seattle and Spokane, and sponsored enterprise initiatives including ESG, AI, and emerging leader development.

Founded in 1914, Storr has spent more than a century building trust with customers across North Carolina and the Southeast. Today, the company helps organizations create, furnish, maintain, relocate, and adapt their workplaces through a single integrated partner—with capabilities spanning strategy and design, furniture procurement and installation, moving and reconfiguration, facility maintenance, records management, PreOwned solutions, cleaning, refurbishment, and warehousing.

Following its acquisition from TZG, Storr is focused on expanding service capabilities, investing in technology, attracting top talent—building on more than a century of customer relationships while competing in an increasingly dynamic workplace market.

“Trevor brings the combination we hoped to find: deep industry experience, a track record of performance, real sales acumen, and a values-based leadership style that fits both Storr’s culture and TZG’s long-term ownership philosophy” said Mike Zafirovski, Founder of The Zaf Group and Chairman of Storr. “He is also a person of deep Faith, which matters to us. He understands the Steelcase dealer ecosystem deeply, has built diversified capabilities around customers, developed leaders, and expanded into new markets — that is exactly what Storr needs for its next chapter. We are deeply grateful to Tom and Bob for what they built here. Over 35 years, they created one of the most respected workplace solutions companies in the Southeast — not just in results and capabilities, but in culture, values, and community impact. Our family is proud to be only the fourth owner in Storr’s 112-year history. Our intention is to own Storr in perpetuity and grow it in a way that benefits its team members, customers, vendor partners, and the communities it serves.”

Bob and I have cared deeply about finding the right leader for Storr. said Tom Vande Guchte, outgoing CEO. “This company has always been about more than furniture. It has been about people, trust, service, and doing our best for our customers and our community. We wanted a leader who would honor that legacy while bringing the experience, Faith, and energy to help Storr grow. We believe he is that person and we look forward to our team and customers getting to know him.”

Trevor Croghan said, “I am honored to join Storr and grateful for the trust placed in me by Tom, Bob, Mike, and the broader TZG team. Throughout this process, I have developed a deep respect for Storr’s people, culture, and legacy, along with its longstanding commitment to customers, community impact, and faith-driven values. This is a remarkable company with a strong foundation and tremendous opportunity ahead. I am energized by the future of our industry, the strength of the North Carolina markets we serve, and the opportunity to help lead Storr’s next chapter of growth. My first priority will be to listen, learn, and build relationships with the team members, customers, vendor partners, and community leaders who have shaped Storr’s success. From there, I look forward to working alongside the Storr team to grow the business, develop our people, expand our capabilities, and continue delivering exceptional value to our customers.”

Storr will continue to operate with the same commitment to customers, team members, vendor partners, and communities. Trevor will spend the coming months meeting with key customers, partners, and community stakeholders before beginning full-time on-site in August.
