worktops over the years, whilst the solid surface market continues to steadily grow as more people are making the switch to a more robust, stylish surface. I feel the flair and the feel within the kitchen, come from the work surface. The aesthetic, texture and temperature are all desirable features for the modern luxurious home. Our consumers aspire to have innovative and design lead surfaces bought into their home which is why we are passionate about what we offer. It’s not just about a worktop, its about delivering the dream kitchen for our customers. People don’t quite realise the scale of the solid
