Our story
It all started when Mike and Pete were about 16 years old. While working as first and second-year apprentices at Woodcraft Cabinets in Bayswater, the teenagers started their own side hustle, honing their skills while doing odd jobs for friends and family. They often played tricks on each other as mates do, but always had each other’s backs when either of them got hurt - regularly removing splinters from each other’s hands with a sharp chisel or extracting dust particles from their eye with the pointy end of a scrunched up tissue. (Such were the occupational hazards back then) .
At the end of their apprenticeships, Pete went travelling for a year while Mike went on to join a kitchen restoration company. Yet it wasn’t long until Pete, having spent his savings abroad, returned home upon catching up with Mike, deciding to join forces again.
That was when Perennial Kitchens, the manufacturing arm of The Kitchen Design Centre, was born. Both qualified builders and working full-time jobs by now, Mike and Pete set up in Pete’s uncle’s garage. Peter and Mike spent the next two years working 100-hour weeks, building their business from the ground up, all while holding onto their full-time employment.
