WRIGHTS DESIGN HOUSE From humble beginnings 50 years ago to the successful kitchen design house it is today, which decade saw the biggest change for what is now Wrights Design house? We have seen a lot of change over our five decades in business, but it is the last decade that has seen the most. In the last fifteen years we have evolved from a highly respected local company to one of the most acclaimed kitchen companies throughout Ireland and the UK. Having managed the company since 2001, I took the strategic decision in 2008 to relocate our retail showroom to its current location at Temple Cross, Lisburn. It was at this time that we also commissioned a major rebrand, changing from be-right kitchens, to Wrights Design House. In the years since then we have doubled our staff numbers and extended our manufacturing facility to cope with the increased volume of work. We now undertake major projects throughout Ireland and the UK, and continue to push the boundaries of design and quality of product. Who has been your biggest inspiration? My biggest inspiration is without a doubt my father, David Wright. He started the business over 50 years ago and has always maintained loyalty to customers and suppliers, while striving to produce the best possible product for every client. He is held in high esteem throughout the kitchen industry and beyond. Since he started the business over five decades ago there have been several recessions, and he has always ensured the company came out the other side stronger. This resolute mindset is something that has resonated with me and has helped fortify our company. Since I took full control of the company, I have initiated many changes to allow us to grow and adapt to trends and market conditions. The core values instilled by my father still form the very basis of how we do business. When choosing your kitchen, what elements should you pay most attention to and why? There are a number of considerations.
