Headquartered in Elizabethtown with additional offices in Campbellsville and Hopkinsville, along with distribution centers in Louisville and Lexington, Kerr Workplace Solutions partners with businesses to create high-quality, functional, and attractive workplaces. Their expertise includes professional consultation and design, customized solutions, and ongoing support services. A trusted partner of leading manufacturers and suppliers, Kerr has grown to meet the evolving demands of today’s work environments, providing furnishings, interiors, office and janitorial supplies, copier sales and service, coffee service, and more.

Meeting participants heard from several members of the Kerr leadership team, including President Brian Kerr, Vice President of Sales & Marketing Ed McCoy, Vice President of Equipment Sales & Service Chris Young, and Account Executive for Janitorial/Facility Supplies Stace McElfresh. Additional insights were shared by Frank Hoard, Director of Facility Supply Channel with Independent Suppliers Group, and Kris Dihrkop, National Account Manager with IPC, both representing key Kerr partners.
