Welcome to a series of posts where we are showcasing some of the amazing people and businesses we work with. We are launching this week with a well-established relationship with one of our Kitchen Suppliers, Tara Neil. They have an amazing showroom on our doorstep in Woodley.
As a business with its heart in Woodley, we love that we can connect local customers with such a professional kitchen supplier. This great team can design, price and install for our customers with minimal travel time.
Tara Neil was launched by two local business people. Geoff Watts and Patrick McGinty, specialising in high-quality British-made fitted kitchens, bedroom furniture and other interior solutions. You can visit their showroom in Woodley to see a wide range of styles and prices to fit most pockets.
At the beginning of this video you can see one of their Symphony ranges, called Linear. It’s a handleless kitchen in the colour Clay, and installed in one of our building projects. We recommend you visit their showroom and spend time with our amazing Account Manager, Julie Gotts, who has been working with us on our customer’s projects since 2021. Julie has been a kitchen designer for the last 5-years but she trained as an interior designer, which is what makes her such a great asset to our customers, always ensuring their design needs are met in a practical kitchen space. Julie is surrounded by a team of experts who are always on hand if Julie isn’t in the showroom on the day you drop in.
Like Elivate, they take sustainability seriously, with all their packaging collected and removed from our customers’ homes and recycled sustainably. Wherever possible, their joiners and manufacturers are aiming to resource their materials responsibly and from the UK.
Elivate can work with our customer’s budgets and individual needs in mind and the Tara Neil showroom has a kitchen for nearly every price point, right through from a bespoke kitchen that is made in the UK by their team of joiners in the North of England, to a Freedom Kitchen, which is fully accessible with rise and fall worktops, sinks and hobs. There are examples of fully bespoke and Freedom kitchens in the showroom, so make sure you take a look at the exceptional features they have to offer. There is also a new installation of an Aldana, which is what Julie would describe as a semi-bespoke kitchen giving you more options to create a kitchen that can work around your available space.
Asking about the timing, as this is an essential part of any home renovation or extension that includes a new kitchen, the shortest lead times are in the Harvard Range, and these can be with you within 3-4 weeks. Paint-to-order extends this lead time to 6-7 weeks and the fully bespoke kitchens will generally take around 12 weeks, so always plan ahead and get your kitchen designed at the beginning of your project.
Mark Fowles, owner of Elivate, commented about the relationship between, Elivate and Tara Neil, “I can refer a customer to Julie with confidence, she is a great designer, has a good eye for detail and listens to our customers to ensure their perfect Kitchen is designed and installed”
The feedback we receive from our clients is always very positive, and because of this, and Elivate’s philosophy of only working with the best local craftsmen (and women) means we needn’t look elsewhere for a great partner in Kitchens and Bedroom furniture.
