The UK Number 1 Trade Kitchen Supplier

We are The UK’s Number 1 Trade Kitchen Supplier*, supplying fitted kitchens to trade customers throughout the UK. There are not many companies like Howdens, as we manufacture in the UK at dedicated sites in Runcorn, Cheshire and Howden, Yorkshire, which means we can offer our trade customers products from local stock, at more than 850 depots nationwide. We also have a 25-year guarantee on all cabinetry and our rigid cabinets were awarded a Which? Best Buy in June 2024. We also sell more than 10,000 products across kitchens, joinery, and hardware, so a home can be completed under one roof. Thanks to our free design and planning service available at every depot, we have delivered more than six million kitchens - and counting- within the UK. *Source: Mintel, Kitchens and Kitchen Furniture, UK September 2023
