Meet Our Team

Designed by the best in the business,
not just a salesperson

At Prestons, every kitchen is created by experienced designers with decades of experience, who know kitchens inside out – not salespeople fresh from a crash course in selling or learning on the job.

We don’t do sales scripts, just honest and practical advice. You could say we’re on a mission to show UK homeowners that with Prestons, you don’t have to compromise on quality, service or value. Come and see us in one of our showrooms to find out more.
