In 2021, Kitchens International became part of 164-year old family business, the Donaldson Group and since then, the business has expanded to offer bathrooms and fitted interiors.
In recognition of the anniversary, it is partnering with some of Scotland’s finest chefs to offer a full year of customer rewards.
These include the launch of a customer reward programme, VIP evening events and an Instagram design competition.
The anniversary campaign launches in November, with a series of showroom events and features Scottish chefs, Martin Wishart, Nick Nairn and Tony Singh MBE, with live cooking demonstrations and dining experiences.
Events are taking place on November 7 in Glasgow, November 21 in Edinburgh, November 28 in Tillicoultry, and December 4 in Aberdeen.
Co-founder and contract sales director at Kitchens International Gerry Watson, said: “For 30 years, we’ve been dedicated to creating exceptional spaces – 28 of those focusing purely on kitchens, and more recently expanding into bathrooms and interiors.
“This event series is a celebration of the passion, precision, and innovation that has defined our brand since the beginning.
“We look forward to welcoming customers to our showrooms and to kicking off the year of fun ahead.”
CEO of Donaldson Group Retail, Distribution & Interiors Divisions Graham Johnston added: “This is an incredibly proud milestone for us, and we’re thrilled to be marking it with a year of festivities to say thanks to our partners, suppliers and customers for 30 years of support.
“We couldn’t have achieved this longevity without them, so it was important to us that they should be central to our celebrations.”
Led by the sixth generation of Donaldson, the 164-year-old Donaldson Group comprises 17 building product businesses and brands, operating throughout the UK from 47 locations and employing over 1,500 people.
