We’re thrilled to announce that our team at Kitchen Design Centre were the recipients of not just one, but two awards at the Neff Master Partner Awards 2025. From our Manchester showroom, our designer Paul Harrington won the Best Kitchen Design under £30k, whereas our Barrowford designer Simon Thomas won Best Use of Island Solution. We are over the moon with the result here at Kitchen Design Centre, and hugely proud with the efforts of our talented team!
Paul’s award-winning entry is a stunning contemporary space in Matt Black UV Satin finish, giving it a highly distinctive and dramatic style. Its owners took care to highlight Paul’s attention to detail, especially the way he incorporated elements like the floating media wall, under-cabinet lighting and contrasting wood textures. He also took care to make the space particularly ergonomic, and the couple are thrilled with the kitchen’s high-tech Neff appliances.
See what you think of the finished design!
Simon’s winning design was a contemporary twist for a Yorkshire barn conversion. Rather than a rustic design, Simon decided on a fresh contemporary approach for the space, one that was strongly influenced by the natural character of timber. The island is one of the standout features of the finished kitchen, helping to maintain its overall flow, and it also serves as a functional cooking space in itself. What’s more, it’s an undeniably eye-catching element, and without question one of the most distinguishing features of the entire space.

The Neff Master Partner Awards is a prestigious annual event hosted by Neff, the world’s premier manufacturer of innovative kitchen appliances. The event is only open to companies that have been awarded the status of Neff Master Partner – elite retailers widely recognised for their expertise and intricate knowledge of Neff’s stunning range of kitchen appliances.
The exclusive nature of the event means that the standard of entries was exceptionally high, as the Awards bring together some of the most outstanding examples of kitchen design from the most talented designers in the UK. That makes Paul and Simon’s wins all the more impressive!

This year’s ceremony was held in the Fairmont Hotel, near Windsor, with a garden party / festival theme. The evening’s entertainment included an incredible display from trained acrobats, followed by the awards ceremony itself, hosted by Alex Jones from the One Show. Following the announcement of the winners, and a brief glimpse of their awe-inspiring designs, the attendees then unwound with a silent disco until late into the night.
All in all, it was a fantastic experience, and we’re already looking forward to next year!
