Our Story

Chris Clemmer joined Barrows as an account manager in 2004 with a long-term goal of carrying on the Barrows legacy. In 2018, Chris officially purchased Barrows, still with the passion of creating beautiful commercial spaces.

Chris continues the Barrows legacy that was established in 1988 by Mike Turner and Sue Thompson as a purchasing company for senior living projects. In 1955, Barrows was chosen to partner with Steelcase, a leading furniture furniture manufacturer.
