A WILTSHIRE-based kitchen company has announced plans to take over a Winchester luxury showroom.

Stewart and Lesley Carr are stepping away from their Bulthaup Broadway kitchen shop to make way for kitchen and bathroom company Hobsons Choice.

Richard Carter, owner and managing director of Hobsons – also a Bulthaup kitchen retailer – has said he is excited by the move.

“I have always admired Stewart’s ethos and the way he conducts his kitchen design and installation business,” he said. “It is very similar to the way Hobsons Choice approach design, with the focus on the customer, attention to detail and an exceptional level of customer service.

“The new Winchester Bulthaup showroom means we are ideally placed to service clients along the south coast, Channel Islands and the counties of Surrey and Sussex.”

He added: “These are very exciting times at Hobsons Choice and I look forward to welcoming all of the Winchester design team into our friendly, passionate company.”
