From Rotherham to Bournemouth, the brand’s latest recruits are bringing affordable kitchen transformations to more homes than ever. With demand for quick, stylish makeovers continuing to soar, this milestone marks another step towards making Kitchen Makeovers a household name across the UK.
Here, Co-founder Will Frankling reflects on the brand’s latest wave of growth, the people driving it forward and how Kitchen Makeovers is building a national network of passionate entrepreneurs transforming kitchens – and lives – right across the country.
From Craig Caldwell in Rotherham and Harry Crassas in Chester, to Chris Vallely in Sutton and Nicola Hutchings in Bournemouth, our newest recruits stretch from north to south. Each franchisee is excited to bring our modern, affordable transformations to homes in their area, helping more households achieve a fresh new look without the stress or expense of a full refit.
It’s fantastic to see our network growing with such a strong group of new franchisees. Craig, Harry, Chris and Nicola all bring great energy, drive and local knowledge, and we’re excited to support them as they build successful Kitchen Makeovers businesses in their own communities. With demand for our service continuing to rise across the UK, their timing couldn’t be better.
One of those new recruits is Nicola Hutchings, who has launched Kitchen Makeovers Bournemouth. With a background in events, hospitality, and commercial kitchen maintenance and design, Nicola brings a wealth of operational experience to her new venture. After marrying in Kefalonia this summer and looking for a fresh start with more flexibility for her family, she saw our franchise opportunity as the perfect fit. Backed by her husband Martin’s 20 years of kitchen fitting expertise, Nicola officially launched in August and is already helping local homeowners give their kitchens a brand-new look without the cost of a full renovation.
“The training was brilliant – really thorough and practical – and the systems in place are better than anything I’ve had access to in my previous corporate roles. I felt confident launching straight away, and within just a few weeks I’d already taken on orders. It’s been busy, but in such a positive way. I love visiting customers, showing them the samples from the van, and seeing their excitement about transforming their kitchens. It already feels like the right move for me and my family,” said Nicola.
With four new franchisees already making their mark, we are continuing to build momentum nationwide. Each new business owner is focused on growing their presence locally and helping more homeowners discover the benefits of a stylish, affordable transformation. With enquiries rising across the country and more franchise territories available for investment, the future looks bright for both our brand and our newest recruits.
Our vision has always been to make Kitchen Makeovers a trusted name in every corner of the UK, and welcoming four new franchisees at once shows just how far we’ve come. The success of our model lies in combining national brand strength with the passion and drive of local business owners. We’re excited to see Craig, Harry, Chris and Nicola thrive in their territories, and we look forward to continuing our growth with even more entrepreneurs who share our ambition.
