Jack Trench is the founder and director of Jack Trench Limited who create award-winning handmade bespoke kitchens. They have a showroom in central London and offer a complete project managed service, from initial concept and design through to manufacture and installation
Since 2003 the company has maintained its original ethos of delivering high-end joinery, bespoke kitchens, and finely-crafted furniture developing into a growing team of cabinetmakers, site fitters, designers, and studio staff.
In this episode we discover
How a few jobs putting up shelves led to setting up a joinery business working across Europe.
How concentrating on kitchen design helped focus their design philosophy, processes, and business goals.
Why you need to understand people and how they tick and the importance of making collaborative decisions with contractors and clients
And why, when you get to site, everything goes out the window.
