The 3rd Generation Makers
Our president, Michael Vokes, remembers how his grandfather, the late Thomas Vokes used to smell of sawdust and lacquer. Thomas built solid wooden cabinets for RCA Victor radios and televisions in Owen Sound, Ontario.
When Michael got out of College in 1989, he went into business with his Dad, custom furniture builder Alvin Vokes, to start Vokes Furniture Inc. the same year. Since then, we have grown from a small local business to a national brand, shipping across Canada.
” We don’t cut corners on quality, so we have to keep costs down some other way. The secret? We’re a well oiled machine. The whole team is always looking to improve efficiency and be smarter about how we build “
~ Mike Vokes, President
