To help our trade customers achieve exceptional results for their customers and to profit from doing so. When our customers succeed, we succeed, and our stakeholders succeed. Our purpose drives our business model and shapes our strategic decisions.
Howdens was founded on the principle that the business should be worthwhile for all concerned — customers, homeowners, tenants, local communities, our suppliers, our investors, our staff and their families. This founding principle has shaped our business model and our strategic decisions since 1995, and it continues to be at the heart of what we do.
We are the UK’s Number 1 Trade Kitchen Supplier*, supplying fitted kitchens to trade customers throughout the UK. There are not many companies like Howdens, as we manufacture in the UK at dedicated sites in Runcorn, Cheshire and Howden, Yorkshire, which means we can offer our trade customers products from local stock at more than 850 depots nationwide. We also have a 25-year guarantee on all cabinetry and in June 2024 our rigid cabinets received a Which? Best Buy for the fourth consecutive year.
