This episode features our host Faye Newman, a freelance Kitchen Designer, and guest Steven Johnson, the Managing Director of Quooker UK and Ireland. Faye shares her unconventional journey into kitchen design and emphasises the importance of early consultation with a designer. Faye also interviews Stephen who discusses Quooker's origins, from its inception as a Dutch invention to its introduction to the UK and Ireland market. Together, they provide valuable knowledge about personalised kitchen design, innovative kitchen technology, and the entrepreneurial spirit driving progress in the industry.
Key Takeaways:
It's important to involve a kitchen designer early in your renovation process to navigate decisions and ensure a seamless outcome. By finding a designer who understands your vision you can create a space that reflects your lifestyle and preferences.
Quooker's origins in the 1970s and its evolution into a pioneering provider of boiling water taps offers listeners a deeper understanding of the innovative thinking that drives further advancements in kitchen technology and appliance manufacturing.
The discussion reveals Quooker's upcoming launch of a KBB Combi Plus system, promising even more efficiency and sustainability in kitchen tap solutions.
Best Moments:
"It all depends on what house you live in. If I was in an apartment like I am now and say I was renovating that space, I would go for a fairly modern looking kitchen purely just because that's what warrants the simplicity of the space that I'm in and the minimal aspect of that works best for that space."
Stephen on Quooker's safety features: "It's a common misunderstanding that people think it's dangerous... when you pass your hand through a Quooker tap, we separate the water into particles so you can't scald or burn yourself."
Stephen's insight on future innovations: "We're launching a KBB Combi Plus system... you'll get hand-warm washing-up water from your Quooker to your kitchen sink, using your boiler less, so we're not wasting the cold water. That system will save 4000 litres of water a year in an average household"
