News // April 21, 2026

Jacksonville, Fla. — [April 20th, 2026] — Perdue Office Interiors, a leading provider of workplace furniture and solutions and part of Suddath Workplace Solutions, today announced a leadership transition as longtime President Vince McCormack retires after more than 40 years of service. The company also announced that Rob Lau will join the organization as President, effective following a planned transition period.

McCormack leaves a lasting legacy at Perdue Office Interiors, having led the organization with steady vision, strong client and partner relationships, and a deep commitment to its people. He joined Perdue in 1986, beginning his career in operations before moving into sales and sales leadership. He was appointed President in 2001 and later, with an investment partner, purchased the company in 2007. In 2018, Perdue was acquired by Suddath, further strengthening its position in the workplace solutions market.

“Vince’s impact on this organization is profound,” said Rich Greco, President, Suddath Workplace Solutions. “He built Perdue into the strong, respected business it is today. The foundation he has created will serve the company well for years to come, and we are incredibly grateful for his leadership, integrity, and vision.”

Beyond his professional accomplishments, McCormack is widely respected for his civic leadership and philanthropic involvement throughout Northeast Florida. His service includes leadership roles with organizations such as Big Brothers Big Sisters, The Florida Theatre, the University of North Florida Foundation Board, the 2014 Gator Bowl, and HCA Memorial Hospital, where he currently serves as Board Chair.

As McCormack transitions into retirement, Rob Lau will assume leadership of Perdue Office Interiors. Lau brings more than 30 years of industry experience, spanning manufacturing and dealer environments. Most recently, he served as Vice President for Steelcase’s Florida & Caribbean Region, where he led the business through multiple record sales years, significant market share growth, and strong dealer network alignment.

Throughout his career, Lau has built and led high-performing teams, strengthened operations, and successfully integrated multiple acquisitions. His background also

includes leading a Steelcase dealership and serving in multiple senior leadership roles at Steelcase and HNI.

“As I step into this role, I recognize both the change this team has experienced and the strength that already exists here,” said Lau. “Perdue is a strong business with talented people, trusted client relationships, and real momentum. My focus will be on listening, aligning around what matters most, and helping the team continue to execute at a high level as we grow, thoughtfully and with purpose.”

McCormack will remain actively involved during the transition period, continuing to lead the organization through mid-June. Following the formal transition, he will serve in an advisory capacity to support continuity and share institutional knowledge.

This planned leadership transition reflects a position of strength for Perdue Office Interiors, which continues to build momentum through trusted partnerships, talented teams, and a strong market presence.
