About us
Mark of Distinction is owned by Mark and Peta Stock, operating from our workshop in an idyllic corner of Te Kowhai, near Hamilton. With over 30+ years of experience, Mark has honed his design ability, sensitivity to form, and high standard of craftsmanship.
Our commitment to quality and desire to create the best custom furniture, kitchens, and bathrooms led to the creation of Mark of Distinction in 2004.

"Mark has been an absolute dream to work with throughout my family’s kitchen renovation process. Honestly, I cannot speak highly enough about the quality of his craftsmanship and attention to detail. He never took shortcuts, or tried to steer us in a direction that wasn’t authentic to our dream, instead, he went above and beyond to get the little things right and it definitely shows in the end product. By choosing Mark, you’re choosing top-tier quality and reliability, and I highly recommend using his services. I wouldn’t consider using anyone else for any of our future custom kitchen/cabinetry solutions. Thanks again Mark!"

“We engaged the services of Mark Stock to build our new kitchen after he came highly recommended from Bronwyn Turton, a well known interior designer in Hamilton. The kitchen was finished to an extremely high standard and we were so pleased with the result, we then got Mark to build our wardrobes in the apartment as well. He talked us through the whole process recommending wood finishes available, door closures and the hardware for the drawers and doors. I can recommend Mark’s craftsmanship to anyone wanting a quality kitchen."

"My husband and I have loved working with Mark from the day we met him. His enthusiasm, creativity and can do attitude has made our new kitchen experience one to remember, for all the right reasons! He took ownership of the project, kept us up to date with timings and gave us options. We could not be more happy with the outcome and are constantly receiving great feedback. The kitchen looks amazing and we would not hesitate to recommend Mark for any cabinetry project in the future."

"I recently renovated my home, upgrading nearly every internal element. One of the highlights was the replacement of the kitchen and the addition of a built-in entertainment and bookcase unit. Mark Stock managed everything from quoting to final installation, and his workmanship and timeliness were impressive. Mark, a true Master Craftsman, also upgraded my laundry, offering valuable suggestions. I highly recommend Mark of Distinction for any furniture or cabinetry needs. I couldn't imagine using anyone else in the future."
