Stoneham Kitchens commercial director Eddie Chu to retire after 24 years of service

Stoneham Kitchens has announced that its commercial director, Eddie Chu, is set to retire at the end of September 2025. Chu joined the luxury kitchen manufacturer in 2001 and is credited with playing an integral role in the company's growth and development.  

Chu began his career at 18, working as a buyer and product developer for a kitchen and bedroom furniture company. His early role at Stoneham focused on purchasing and sourcing new materials for development and product design before he moved on to become commercial director. Over the years he has overseen procurement, driven product development, led training programmes and worked closely with customers.

MD Adrian Stoneham said: “Eddie has been an incredible ambassador for Stoneham. His depth of technical knowledge and ‘can do’ attitude have had a most positive effect on our business and customers for many years. Having worked very closely with him, I consider him a most valued colleague and friend. His energy, cheery nature, and engaging personality are recognised by everyone who meets him. And, of course, his unique take on the English phonetic alphabet has often been a great source of entertainment!

“From all at Stoneham, we thank Eddie for his outstanding contribution and wish him a wonderful retirement filled with happiness and new adventures.”

Reflecting on his time at Stoneham, Chu said: “It has been a fantastic 24 years. Every day has brought something new and challenging, which has made the role stimulating and rewarding. I will truly miss my colleagues and our long-standing suppliers.”
