Kitchens International unveils growth plans following management buyout

Kitchens International (KI), the award-winning Scottish specialist in luxury kitchens, bathrooms and living spaces, has announced a new phase of growth following its management buyout from the James Donaldson Group, and transition to independent family ownership under new owner and CEO, Graham Johnston.

Founded in 1994, KI has established a reputation for delivering kitchen, bathroom and living space solutions, working with brands including Callerton, Stoneham, Poggenpohl and LEICHT. 

Now fully independently owned, KI says it is focused on long-term growth and innovation, investing in 3 new showrooms across Scotland this year, including a new appointment-only design studio at Orwell Farm, Loch Leven, and new showrooms in Edinburgh's Morningside and Glasgow's West End. The expansion will bring total employee numbers to 40, strengthening KI's team, as well as its presence, across Scotland, and reinforcing its position as one of the country's leading luxury kitchen, bathroom and living spaces specialists.

To support the growth plans, KI has established a new advisory board with: entrepreneur Colette Grant; chef and restaurateur Tony Singh MBE; marketing expert Emma Aitken; and transformation specialist Martin Ewart. The board will provide strategic guidance as the business accelerates its growth plans while remaining at the forefront of design excellence, innovation and exceptional customer experience.
