JD Kitchens

Danil Sugakov, owner of the business since April 2022.
· What sets you apart from the competition?
We’re an independent kitchen company that offer a full turn key service for quality kitchens. We do everything from building the extension to house the new kitchen to painting walls at the very end – as well as great design and installation of course!
· How did the business come about?
I have another kitchen company in Altrincham, so when this one came up for sale I jumped at the chance to buy it.
· What are your main target markets?
Our kitchens are mid to high end German kitchens by next125 and Schuller, as well as British Callerton.

21 years

There are 3 of us in the office full time, with various tradespeople associated to us.
· What job or achievement makes you most proud?
It may sound cheesy, but every happy customer is a proud team effort.
· Where do you see the business being in five years?
Technology in the kitchen is expanding rapidly, it’s designed to make your life easier and your cooking experience more enjoyable, so we’ll certainly be seeing great leaps in this field.
· Tell us one interesting thing about the business that might surprise us?
BORA have just introduced an oven that plumbs into the mains water supply and creates steam for beautifully moist and crisp cooking. Oddly it looks like a washing machine when it self -cleans. We’re just installing one in our showroom so you can pop in and see it soon!
· Tell us one interesting thing about you that people might not know? (ie, hobbies, amusing fact, etc)
I’m originally from Estonia and moved to England when I was 18.
