The first Monk Office opened its doors in 1951 in Victoria, run by Mr. Charlie Monk who later sold the business to Ron McKenzie. It’s been in the family ever since, growing to 10 locations across Vancouver Island, with a Head Office and Distribution Center in Victoria. Caitlin McKenzie is Monk's third generation President and CEO and is backed by a strong Senior Leadership Team. As of 2022, we added the Island Blue Art & Framing family to our offerings with two retail stores in Greater Victoria. Monk Office is celebrating its 70th year in business in 2022!
Our Core Values:
We do it all: office & art supplies, furniture, design, printing and copying, framing, business machines, managed IT and more. We’re Vancouver Island’s Office Outfitters®, whether you need an ergonomic chair for your home office, re-stocking your business’ supplies, or designing corporate headquarters from top to bottom.
We believe every generation should inherit a healthier earth than the one before it. To achieve that, we expect more from ourselves than the earth, and give back more than we take with sustainable business practices that minimize our impact on the planet.
