Following the completion of projects in Cardiff and Bath and interest from Bristol and South West areas, the senior management team decided to expand the business with a satellite showroom.

It is aimed to support project partners, with a local facility that showcases the company’s products and services.

Brandt Design has worked with BayScape and award-winning Rio Architects to provide custom kitchens for a development of apartments, duplexes and penthouses split across two contemporary buildings at Cardiff Marina.

Director of Brandt Design Scott Davis said: “With over 15 years’ experience centring on London and the South East, we have been steadily growing our national footprint with projects in the Midlands and Sussex, as well as the Home Counties.

“We know there is a massive market for contract interiors as city centre regeneration is huge news for the core cities outside London and we want to play our part in supporting the regions with beautiful, custom kitchens for all price points.”

Julia Steadman, head of operations at Brandt Design, added: “Following changes in Building Regulations, we anticipate that many mothballed projects will be getting the greenlight, as there is now pent-up demand for housing, especially in desirable locations.

“Cardiff is projected to see population growth of 25% by 2034, which is even higher than London, and we are keen to make sure we can supply the best in class kitchens for new builds as well as established properties to new homeowners.”

She concluded: “We are an ambitious company and decided that the challenges of the pandemic and Brexit would not prevent us from following our long-term plan to established a presence in key, business-critical locations nationwide.

“Cardiff gives us our fourth showroom and we look forward to bringing our expert, intuitive design and visionary approach to one of the most exciting, up and coming cities in the country.”

Brandt Design has a showroom in West Hampstead, having moved into the former Neil Lerner Kitchen premises, Pinner and its head office and stone fabrication in Hertfordshire.
