The Kitchen Growth Experience

Honest conversations with the people building kitchen businesses across the UK. Hosted by Devon Clark.

About the Show

What the podcast is for

Every week Devon Clark sits down with a kitchen business owner, founder or industry supplier for an honest conversation about how they actually grow. Marketing, sales, operations, leadership and the things that went wrong on the way.

No pitch, no script. The guests are showroom owners, installers, designers and manufacturers, and the conversations are the ones you would have with them over a coffee rather than on a stage.

Export Express Sourcing

Why Cheap Overseas Suppliers Cost Kitchen Businesses More

In This Episode

Paulina Paruszewska co-founded Export Express to help kitchen and furniture businesses buy hardware and lighting directly from factories rather than through a chain of resellers. She explains what the cheapest quote usually hides, how to judge a supplier you will never meet in person, and what their first stand at KBB Birmingham taught them about what buyers actually want.

  • Buying direct from the factory against going through resellers
  • What the cheapest supplier quote tends to leave out
  • Holding quality and control when you source overseas
  • What their first KBB Birmingham stand taught them
OK Joinery Product Design

The Space-Saving Furniture Idea One Man Had to Protect

In This Episode

Tibor Kunya trained as a master joiner and a marine engineer before moving to the UK from Hungary and founding OK Joinery. He talks through the Duplex Dinette, a multifunctional system built for narrowboats, compact homes and small kitchens, and what it takes to protect an original design once people start noticing it.

  • Designing furniture for genuinely small spaces
  • Protecting an original idea

Woodio Materials

The Sustainable Material Challenging Ceramic

In This Episode

Connor Heathfield runs UK sales for Woodio, a Finnish manufacturer making waterproof wood composite for bathrooms and interiors. He covers why people assume wood cannot survive a wet room, how durability and repairability change the sales conversation, and the KBB Birmingham demonstration where they threw basins on the floor to prove the point.

  • Why a waterproof wood composite exists at all
  • Handling the objection that wood belongs nowhere near water
  • Selling on durability and repairability rather than price
  • Getting showroom staff confident with an unfamiliar material

What Being Fully Booked Really Costs a Kitchen Business

  • What being fully booked really costs
  • Managing lead times and client expectations
  • Turning down the wrong projects
  • The pressure growth creates behind the scenes
