The ceremony took place on Thursday 24 April at the historic Blackpool Tower Ballroom, drawing over 1,000 industry professionals for an evening of celebration. Hosted by comedian Seann Walsh and the voice of the National Lottery, Alan Dedicoat, the event honoured excellence and innovation across the kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom sector.
Ashford Kitchens, a second-generation, family-owned business founded in 1984, was selected for its outstanding achievements in customer service, showroom presentation, design expertise, and business performance. The company currently operates from two inspiring showrooms in Ashford, Middlesex and Farnham Common, Buckinghamshire.
Upon receiving the award, Owner and Managing Director Stephen Flower commented:
'We should not underestimate what an incredible achievement this is, to be recognised with such a prestigious award by industry professionals, while competing against well-established and reputable kitchen retailers across the UK and Ireland. It's a well-deserved honour that reflects the high standards to which we hold ourselves.'
The recognition is especially meaningful for the business, which prides itself on delivering beautifully bespoke kitchens, bedrooms, and home living designs, with a strong emphasis on traditional customer care and craftsmanship.
Earlier in the year, Ashford Kitchens hosted industry judge Darren Taylor in their showrooms, offering him a first-hand look at the company's commitment to passion, professionalism, and quality. The visit further reinforced their eligibility for the industry's top honour.
Stephen Flower added: 'This is not just any award, it's the highest honour in our industry, it's a recognition of the quality, service and attention to detail we've put into every single project we've delivered. For a local, family-run business of 41 years, this is a massive moment, not just for us, but for the people who've backed us along the way.'
Founded by Richard and Tracey Flower, the business has grown from a single showroom in Ashford to a well-respected brand serving customers across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Middlesex, Surrey and surrounding areas. Despite its growth, Ashford Kitchens remains proudly independent, offering personal, end-to-end service in kitchen design, supply, coordination, and installation.
With a team of skilled designers, project coordinators and installers, the company continues to champion local service, attention to detail, and customer satisfaction.
As the Kitchen Retailer of the Year 2025, Ashford Kitchens is now firmly recognised as the benchmark for excellence in the UK interiors industry.
