Buying from us

The UK Number 1 Trade Kitchen Supplier

With an estimated market share of 27 per cent*, we are the UK’s leading supplier of fitted kitchens. There are many kitchen suppliers, however not many companies like Howdens, as we manufacture and supply kitchens to a high standard, which is why we have delivered more than six million kitchens - and counting- within the UK. *Source: Mintel, Kitchens and Kitchen Furniture, UK September 2020
