ABOUT

Family Business

We really mean it when we say we’re a small family business. With John over seeing every project that Megan, his daughter, designs.

Just one team to communicate with, from start to finish.

John

John began his carpentry career as an apprentice on Longford Estate in 1972 where he learnt his craft for 4 years. After several years employed in general building as a carpenter, he joined a small building firm for 13 years, which was run by an architect. Over this time, he absorbed a wealth of construction knowledge from his boss who ultimately became his colleague and business partner. They then found their niche in the market for creating and installing kitchens that needed a little more planning and construction than your average. John then spent the next 20 years working as a project/installations manager for different kitchen & bathroom companies around Salisbury. After the 2009 recession John decided he wanted more control over his projects so took the leap to start designing and supplying his own kitchens & bathrooms. With a successful couple of year sunder his belt the next step was to open a showroom, which he did in 2011. At this point his eldest daughter Megan decided she wanted to commit to a life in the industry.

Megan

With years of joining John in the van on a Saturday as a child, Megan was no stranger to the industry. After her A levels she was unsure whether university was the right fit so John offered her a job helping on site, whilst she worked out what to do. Simon took her under his wing as an apprentice tiler, luckily Simon is still part of the team to this day so you don’t have to worry about Megan’s handy work (she’s good at picking them, just not sticking them)!  She started to help John with the kitchen and bathroom designs and immediately fell in love with the process. After learning CAD Megan developed her skills as a designer, focusing on product quality and innovations. 13 years later she is still passionate about her work and loves helping people create spaces they enjoy.

John and Megan can’t do it alone, they also have Trevor and Simon to see your projects through.
