Weekly Design Digest - 21 July 2024

Speeches have made a lot of headlines this week, be it from a Wimbledon winner, the England football manager, a former US President, or the King of the United Kingdom. It has been a busy week!

No speeches for us this week, (thankfully), but plenty of chatting with new clients and professional contacts.? I don’t know if it is the sun popping its head out, if only for a day or two, or if it’s something in the air, a new Government even, but it definitely feels like there is a renewed energy in the market.?

I was also asked this week, how long I have been involved in the high-end kitchen and bathroom industry and came to realise it is now over 23 years!? 23 years in fact, working at Hobson’s Choice.? Staggeringly, compared to several of our team, I am still very much a newbie.??

During this time, I have learnt that what we offer, in terms of our products, represents only a small element of our ‘Offering’.? How we offer it, in terms of our service and approach, has come to define us and drive our long-term success.? Of course, we need to work with the best products in the world, and thankfully we do, but once this box is ticked, how we differentiate ourselves all comes down to our values, our people and our service.?

So with no ambition to make speeches, I will instead focus on building more exciting, mutually beneficial relationships with other industry professionals through the good old-fashioned art of conversation.?

If you feel a quick chat, coffee or lunch would be of interest to enable us to learn more about you, your business and your client’s needs, then I invite you to reach out and call me on 01793 685001.?

You may already have existing trusted suppliers and that is great news.? But what’s the harm in a new conversation?? Nothing to lose…potentially plenty to gain.

All the best,

Richard

What Does a Quality Kitchen Look Like?

Explaining the differences between high-end kitchen brands is something we often address. Unlike the car or fashion industries, where names like Ferrari, Hermès, Rolls-Royce, or Prada instantly suggest high quality and value, kitchen brands are less well-known.

To assist our potential clients, we created our Learning Hub (LH), which features in-depth articles explaining the value of our recommended brands and the Hobson’s Choice service that accompanies every kitchen, bathroom, or living space we design and install.?

If you, a colleague, or one of your clients are considering a new kitchen as part of a project our article may prove useful. The publication explores:

• Materials and Craftsmanship
• Functional Design
• Installation and Finishes

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to get in touch with one of the team.

Best Wishes,

The Team at Hobson's Choice
