Wickes Kitchen - Ilfracombe Marine Blue and Olive

Howdens, the UK’s number one trade kitchen supplier, today announces a new partnership with Grand Designs Live 2025 in London. As the official sponsor, Howdens will present the Kitchen Theatre and Advice Centre, featuring expert-led discussions, including a session with presenter and interiors expert Kevin McCloud, to offer insights into kitchen and bedroom design and installation from their expert designers and trade customers.

Howdens will present expertly designed kitchens and bedrooms, available exclusively through the trade, while reinforcing the benefits of buying through a trade professional - as well as showing innovation such as its brand new Ilfracombe kitchen, an in-frame shaker design, as part of their premium 24-colour Paint-to-Order timber collection.
