Employer Description:

Elgar kitchens is set around the ethos that your dream kitchen should be an experience and not simply a purchase or upgrade.
Our business was started by two friends who have known each other for 15 years. Lisa with 25 years’ experience in the kitchen industry and Carl with 35 years’ experience in business. We came together and created Elgar Kitchens Ltd. From the onset the vision was to build a kitchen brand which was not only aspirational but affordable.  Our ethos was to create an environment where the client never feels under pressure to make a decision, the decisions are made with our guidance and advice but at the clients leisure, our sales approach is a journey rather than transactional. We work with our clients to achieve the dream kitchen at a budget they are comfortable with.

We’re different from our main competitors due to the overwhelming desire to make sure every customer gets great quality, great service, and a great kitchen, at the price they can afford, and is within the budget they want to spend. Moreover, we adopted a team approach to the business from day one, with everybody focusing on the single goal of delivering a first class kitchen experience. The same vision is adopted by the warehouse team, accounts, sales, cleaners, and management.
