Thanks for the feedback Steve. We haven't tried to promote the website to public/trade until it's up and running and complete. I currently design and make kitchens/built ins on a job by job basis. Each project is totally bespoke and designed and built from scratch but it's a lot of work with far too much room for error! Hence the move into a standard range. I also hate leaving my workshop so the idea of supply only is very attractive!
I suppose I'm aiming them at my current market who I know want this type of kitchen but don't want to go to DeVol, Plain English, Harvey Jones etc because they don't have money to burn. Buying from this new site will work out far cheaper for the client than coming to us for a one off bespoke kitchen. The Birch ply carcasses adds a premium but I think it's worth it for the look and durability. Even a bad leak wouldn't touch them! I haven't bothered with oak for the door and face frames as the added cost seems pointless when it's painted.
I'm hoping that the ease of installation will make them attractive to fitters.
