As well as being design led, our furniture is also performance driven, with our kitchen furniture being backed by the coveted BS EN ISO 9001:2000 recognition of quality.

In the kitchen market many of our high performance products have been specifically designed to meet the needs of today's house builder and Local Authorities, Housing Associations and Retailers. However this level of commitment - to quality products and adherence to good management practice - is also applied across all of our furniture and operations.

We are also the first UK supplier of kitchen furniture to gain Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) Chain of Custody certifications for all our ranges in the social housing and private development markets, guaranteeing that wood used in the manufacture of our products comes from well-managed forests, according to strict environmental, social and economic standards, helping the social sector achieve the Government's EcoHomes rating.

Helping the sector to meet Decent Homes standards in property refurbishment and delivering true tenant choice on new build developments, we recognise that the best value is as much about satisfied tenants as it is about cost.
