Wren Kitchens expands its expertise into the contract and property development sector
From single dwellings to expansive residential and high-rise developments, the UK’s number one kitchen retailer is fast emerging as a trusted partner for developers and housing professionals big and small.
Known for their affordable luxury kitchens and fitted bedrooms, Wren Contracts is rapidly establishing its reputation as the brand of choice, with the scale and expertise to take on projects whatever their size and spec.
Kitchens and bedrooms for every budget
Wren has the price and product to suit every project, from exclusive property developments to extensive high-rise social housing projects. When it comes to kitchens, the EasyFit range includes their most popular entry level designs and styles, all fully built to a high standard in their UK factories and quick to install. Infinity and Infinity Plus are mid-range to premium made-to-order ranges with more than 2,000 designs and colours to choose from. Wren also design and manufacture award-winning, affordable accessible kitchens – for multi-generational and limited mobility users.
There are two collections to choose from within Wren’s range of affordable luxury fitted bedrooms. The Infinity collection includes their best-loved designs, combining quality with classic styles. Infinity Plus features a range of bespoke luxury bedrooms made to order in their UK factories.
Lead times that lead the way
All Wren kitchens, bedrooms and quartz worktops are designed, manufactured and delivered in-house, ensuring the highest standards throughout its supply chain with the shortest lead times. Property Development clients can expect an industry-leading call-off period of just 2-3 weeks whilst voids can be supplied within 4 days. Should an item need replacing, there’s a 48-hour turnaround on remedial parts.
Award-winning delivery
Wren own the key elements of its supply chain including transport and delivery. Their nationwide delivery service is scheduled to fit around the site’s programmes, rather than deliveries that suit a pre-determined journey plan. All products are unloaded by Wren teams and transported to the correct, secure plot with a direct to room delivery service. A dedicated delivery team attends the development prior to delivery to check local roads, routes into plots and any other specific details.
The highest standards of quality
Wren’s award-winning installation team is BiKBBi and FIRA International Gold accredited, testament to their exemplary levels of workmanship, attention to detail and adherence to health & safety, just one element that sets Wren apart from its competitors. All installers are overseen by dedicated Installation Managers who personally manage no more than 10 sites, ensuring that Wren Contract’s class leading management service is not compromised.
A name you can trust
Emerging as a trusted partner for house builders and developers big and small, Wren Contracts is consistently raising the bar, delivering excellence throughout its supply chain. A recent partnership with Short Bros Developments saw 25 new homes fitted with a Wren kitchen on a luxury housing development in Gwenllian Gardens, Carmarthenshire.
Explaining why Wren was top of mind, Michael Kaverner, Planning & Development Director, Short Bros Developments said: “We chose Wren Contracts for several reasons. I actually have a Wren kitchen at home, and I can honestly say I love it. We wanted to give our homeowners that same sense of affection for their living space. We carefully evaluated other suppliers, but none could match the level of service and personal touch that Wren offered. From the outset, it was evident that Wren was invested in our project’s success.”
The success of the Short Bros and Wren partnership is reflected in the positive feedback from all 25 new homeowners including Dominik Kania: “We had a Wren kitchen in the past, so we knew we were in for a treat when we realised Wren was the kitchen contractor for our new house. We had the whole Wren showroom experience; so much choice, VR technology that transformed our design into 3-D virtual reality where we were able to virtually walk around our kitchen, testing the layout and height of appliances – we pondered over a few designs but nothing was too much trouble for Wren, they accommodated our every wish and helped us make the right decision based on aesthetics and practicality. The whole experience has been nothing short of fantastic, we are thoroughly impressed with the quality of their kitchens and the service we received.”
A greener future
Beyond commercial success, Wren is deeply committed to environmental sustainability. From TripleTrunking and advanced route planning (which reduces road miles and emissions 60%+ compared to conventional delivery and routing methods), to switching to water-based paints (from solvent based), sourcing raw materials from sustainable supplies, recycling and biodiversity projects – their programme is extensive and diverse. Their roadmap is on track to achieve carbon neutral status by 2030, demonstrating a genuine and proactive concern for the planet and future generations.
Wren is currently working with Taylor Wimpey at a number of sites across the UK. Projects are ongoing with Cala and Wain too. Wren is also an approved supplier for Berkeley Group, Barratt Homes, Ardmore and many more within the property development and social housing sectors.
