Established in 1965, Spectrum is not only the oldest, but also the largest, Herman Miller dealership in Philadelphia. Kelly, who joined the dealership as President in 2013, is recognized for strengthening Spectrum and Herman Miller's position in the greater Philadelphia area.

"We believe commercial distribution is best managed by independent, experienced owners," said Mike Hamacher, Vice President of Distribution Channels. "Peggy not only has a tremendous amount of experience in the industry, but also has an intimate understanding of the market in and around Philadelphia."

As the recipient of Philadelphia Business Journal's 2016 Minority Business Leader Award, Kelly has been lauded for her "people-first" approach to leadership. "Each member of the Spectrum team is an important part of both our company and our community," said Kelly. "Every person carries with them years of experience, specialized knowledge, and a considered point of view. As a team, we look forward to growing our presence in Philadelphia and deepening long-lasting relationships by providing the exceptional service that our clients have come to expect."

Kelly has more than 15 years of experience in the furniture industry. Prior to taking the leadership role at Spectrum, she served as Vice President of Herman Miller's North America seating category, and before that was president of a Knoll dealership for almost a decade.

Spectrum's office and showroom are located at 1003 West 9th Avenue, King of Prussia. Spectrum also recently opened a Distribution Center and Installation Platform in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania.
