Howdens Expands Irish Footprint; Three More Sites Planned This Year

Howdens, the trade kitchen supplier, has opened the doors to two new depots located in Blackpool Cork and Tralee, as the company expands its Irish footprint, with a total of 13 depots now operating in the Republic of Ireland, and ambitions to open three more this calendar year. This will take the total number of sites to 30 depots across all of Ireland.

The two new openings have created 12 new jobs in the local regions, and will carry stock across all Howdens’ categories, including over 100 kitchen and fitted bedroom collections, from best on budget shaker designs to premium modern slab styles, plus joinery, doors, flooring and more – all from local stock for best availability and convenience, saving tradespeople time on their jobs.

Their rigid kitchen cabinets are made in Howdens’ own factories, come with a 25-year cabinetry guarantee, and are easy to fit and built to last. There is also a 25-year cabinetry guarantee on Howdens’ bedrooms.

Local tradespeople can take advantage of services such as the company’s free home measure and design service, Template and Fit solid surface worktops and premium Paint to Order timber kitchens available in 24 colours.

Howdens is also the exclusive supplier of brands such as Lamona appliances, Oake & Gray flooring and their latest own brand launch, Fuller & Forge ironmongery.
