On behalf of everyone here at McGreals, we are thrilled to celebrate a major milestone – our 50th anniversary! Since 1974, we've been proudly providing exceptional office furniture solutions to businesses throughout New Zealand.
Achieving this monumental milestone would not have been possible without our dedicated employees, supportive network, and of course loyal clients like you that have supported us - thank you!
Our Story
The McGreals' journey began in 1974 when Damien's great uncle, Patrick, founded a humble office furniture store with a vision to provide high-quality office furniture at affordable prices. Over the years, McGreals has grown and adapted to meet the ever-changing needs of our clients.
Damien, who started working in the business as a school kid, has seen McGreals through various roles, from wrapping vinyl desks and managing installations to becoming the Sales Manager and now Director. His deep-rooted understanding of the business, combined with a passion for furniture design, has been instrumental in McGreals' success.
From traditional office spaces to today's dynamic and collaborative work environments, we've been there every step of the way, offering a comprehensive selection of furniture and services to help local businesses create inspiring and functional workspaces.

“I have been with McGreals for over 10 years. It seems a long time, but I don’t feel that way. I feel as if it was just recently. Why? Because I enjoy working with the TEAM and the McGreals family. I have been looking after Accounting and Management Reporting functions.
Wishing the Company continuous growth in the future.”

"I started at McGreals way back in 2000 as my first “real” job after studying. It was such a wonderful, warm and welcoming place to be a part of.
After a long break having four children I was thrilled to be back working in the great team environment McGreals has always been known for. McGreals is like family to me - I joke I’m happy to have been around so long - I’m “part of the furniture.”
