Howdens: UK Kitchen Demand and Supply

Executive Bio

Scott Taylor

Former General Manager at Wren Kitchens

Why is this interview interesting?

Key takeaways:

  • Fitter supply is tight due to lack of training and new recruits entering market during covid
  • HWDN has advantage in that builders are booked out in advance and they earn more fitting for HWDN vs Wren
  • The internet has changed the shopping experience for kitchens and favors retailers like Wren
  • As kitchen demand and fitter supply normalizes, we will only then see the change in the relative competitiveness of HWDN vs Wren
  • Even if HWDN maintains volume, it may have to extend the range and improve product to stay competitive with Wren
