It’s official – on the 28th of April, Suzanne celebrated her 20th year as a member of the Kitchen Design Centre team! We’ve been honoured to have her here over the last two decades – Suzanne began life with us at our Blackburn showroom at the tender age of 20, and since then she’s gone on to become a highly respected and experienced member of our team.
Suzanne has now provided her talents to three different Kitchen Design Centre showrooms throughout her time here, and she has thoroughly enjoyed her career development. As well as creating a number of incredible kitchens over the years, Suzanne has made a brilliant impression on many of the customers she has designed for. Thanks to her infectious personality and creative designs, many of her clients have remained firm friends with her ever since!

Suzanne is a shining example of what we’re all about here at Kitchen Design Centre. Her attention to detail, her warmth. and her ability to take every challenge in stride are all features we admire greatly about her, and she now serves as the perfect role-model for our young designers who are just starting out.
“It really doesn’t feel like 20 years!” said Suzanne. “I remember my first day as clear as day, and I’ve still got the same drive and passion for my work that I did back then. It’s a really surreal feeling looking back! I’ve enjoyed every minute of my time here so far, and I’ve made more friends doing this job than I ever thought possible, which makes it all the more special. Hopefully the future is filled with the same!” We couldn’t agree more Suzanne. Here’s to 20 more years!
So, if you’re looking to buy a designer kitchen in Barrowford, maybe Suzanne will end up being the one to provide it! Regardless of who you speak to here at Kitchen Design Centre though, you can always be sure that all of our designers share Suzanne’s passion and desire for design! Pop down to one of our showrooms in Blackburn, Liverpool or Manchester where a member of our design team will be happy to start you on your journey to your dream kitchen.
AS SEEN ON GEORGE CLARKE’S BEAUTIFUL BUILDS: FROM DATED LAYOUT TO DREAM ENTERTAINING SPACE
When Katherine and Andrew purchased their property, they always knew a full renovation would follow.
With both the outdated kitchen and untouched garden requiring significant transformation, the project soon became part of Channel 4’s George Clarke’s Beautiful Builds – it was an opportunity they felt perfectly aligned with their vision for the property.
While searching for a local kitchen specialist, Kitchen Design Centre immediately stood out thanks to its long-standing reputation, glowing customer reviews and welcoming showroom experience.
The brief focused on creating a sleek, contemporary kitchen that would feel open, social and highly functional, while complementing the wider architectural renovation of the home.
The finished design delivers a beautifully balanced space that combines clean lines with luxurious detailing.
One of the standout features is the striking worktop design. The waterfall edge peninsula creates a bold focal point within the room, while the continuation of the material across the side panels introduces a seamless, premium aesthetic.
Functionality was equally important throughout the design process, with carefully considered storage solutions and high-quality appliances helping to simplify everyday living. Among Katherine and Andrew’s favourite additions is the Neff oven, praised for both its versatility and pyrolytic self-cleaning function.
The completed result is a sophisticated contemporary space that completely transforms how the home looks, feels, and functions, perfectly reflecting Katherine and Andrew’s original vision from the moment they moved in.
