bespoke kitchens
Marion has researched a lot of kitchen suppliers - all over the Midlands region - and has picked out a few to recommend for that special once in a lifetime bespoke kitchen. She has visited them all - to look at their work and find out what their specialities are. They may be small family run businesses, or individual cabinetmakers, but they all really care about their work and put customer service first.Smaller businesses are often more flexible than larger ones and what could be better, than having a cabinetmaker to make you some beautiful new kitchen furniture.
If you use made to measure units and doors, designing your kitchen is so much easier than if you're trying to juggle a few standard sized units to fit into your space. In truly bespoke kitchens, the ability to add unique features and vary the style of the doors can make that bit of difference that adds the elusive wow factor to what, otherwise, might have been just another nice kitchen!

Salcey Cabinet Makers is run by husband and wife team Grahame and Zena Cummins, with the help of Grahame's sister Lorraine. The business was started 13 years ago in a small workshop in Northamptonshire's Salcey Forest; hence the name. Originally working mainly in pine, the business now concentrates on truly bespoke kitchens and furniture, marketed under the name George Grahame Design.

Woodbridge Bespoke Cabinets is one of the larger businesses in the scheme. Roderick Williamson, the Managing Director, took the company over a few years ago and he has invested in more modern machinery. In particular, he has installed a CNC router, a computer controlled machine capable of precision woodcutting. This has increased the number of kitchens that can be made, whilst allowing each unit to remain truly bespoke. The skilled workshop staff can concentrate on hand finishing and special units.
