With ongoing expectations from trade customers for speed, reliability, accuracy, and quality as standard practice, kitchen brands are under pressure to deliver more than ever. Paul Berryman, head of Life Trade, shares why complete, fully assembled kitchens tick all the boxes to deliver these standards consistently.
Time and cost-effective
“Efficiency in fitting is measured in both cost and time. Our aim as a business is to reduce site time and increase project turnover for our trade customers. As cabinets arrive fully assembled, with all internals, fittings, and frontals already in place, it means there’s little to no on-site assembly required. By delivering units that are prepared to plan, it saves valuable installation time, reduces disruption and keeps projects running smoothly – resulting in better overall efficiency.”
Simplifying the service
“Approaching a kitchen as a complete system changes the nature of the fitting. With the cabinets, doors and storage features already pre-design and assembled, it means installation can progress in a logical rhythm without potential interruption from any last-minute modifications. With all these details already in place and all services sitting within one system, installers can then move through the fitting with confidence, meet project deadlines and not have to coordinate multiple suppliers.”
Quality product
“Unlike our flat-pack or mass-market competitors, Life Trade provides premium, made-to-order rigid cabinets supported by UK-based manufacturing, craftmanship and care. All our cabinets are manufactured on-site at our County Durgam headquarters, which also houses our worksurface production, Paint-to-Order facility, design teams and customer service. By having everything under one roof and keeping production local, we always guarantee a consistent, quality product every time. Plus, every order is always carefully packaged for site-ready installation.”
