Dream Doors opens in Nottingham
n Dream Doors, the UK’s largest kitchen facelift franchise, has opened a new showroom in the West Nottingham area. Jon and Hilary Brown, owners of Dream Doors Nottingham, received a warm reception from colleagues, family, friends and the local people of Nottingham. They were joined by managing director Phil Carr to mark the event.
Jon and Hilary joined the Dream Doors network after deciding to become their own bosses and invest in a business they believe in. Jon had a knack for home improvement, and Dream Doors gave him the opportunity to explore this interest further and to provide customers with a dream kitchen of their own. The couple were impressed with Dream Doors’ track
record and its ethical approach; they felt the franchise was the perfect fit for what they wanted to offer to the local community. The mayor of Broxtowe borough, councillor Halimah Gulzar Khaled, says: “I’m so happy to be here at the opening of the new Dream Doors showroom in Beeston. The owners, Jon and Hilary, have been so welcoming; they’re lovely people and always deliver service with a smile. The business itself is inspirational and such a great idea.” By replacing a kitchen’s doors and worktops, a Dream Doors facelift creates a new kitchen look for a fraction of the price, hassle and time normally associated with a full refit. Jon says: “Dream Doors is fantastic.
