CELEBRATING 25 YEARS IN BUSINESSAKIDDERMINSTER
company is celebrating25 years in business in
the best possible way with a£1 million investment in anew factory and showroomon the Hartlebury tradingestate.The investment that alsoincludes the recent purchaseof a £50,000 saw is reapingrewards that include an orderto fit out 160 apartments inBirmingham as well as thecompany's first major hotelorder for a client in London.Hatt Kitchens employ 66 peo-
ple, most of them inKidderminster, although thebusiness also has a show-room at Reindeer Court inWorcester.
This family owned business,founded in the depth ofrecession in 1982, is proofthat a commitment to qualityand customer service willbring success even in anenvironment where competi-tion is intense.
Hatt is a kitchen andfurniture manufacturer thatuses high quality woods and
materials to make productsthat also include bedroomand kitchen furniture fordiscerning domestic andcommercial customers. In anew move Hatt is also aboutto start making and sellingbathroom furniture.
This continually growingand developing businessescomprises three major com-ponents.
For the domestic customerthere are two showrooms anda one-stop service that startswith assisting with thedesign, taking the order,making it and then doing thefitting to a high standard.
"This is a very competitivebusiness but the ability toprovide a locally basedservice where customers aremade to feel that they reallymatter is very important. Ahappy customer is likely tocome back in the future andwill also recommend uswhich is a great way ofwinning new orders," saidDavid Powell, deputymanaging director.
Hatt showrooms inKidderminster and Worcesterare open six days a weekMonday-Saturday between9am and 5pm.A second important elementof the business is contractwork in which Hatt supplykitchens and worktops tobuilders for use in new andrefurbished homes. Kitchensand worktops made by Hattare often used in flats, apart-ments and high-rise buildingdevelopments.Finally, and also very impor-tant is the contracting side ofthe business in which Hattmake and supply bedroomfurniture to specialist dealersthroughout the UnitedKingdom for sale to cus-tomers.David Powell is excited aboutthe future and also believesthat the new premises andmajor investment will help tomove Hatt to the next level.The new premises, which arenot very far from the existingsite on the HartleburyTrading Estate, will mean a60,000 sq foot factoryenabling a step in the manu-facturing capacity.
