An unassuming kitchen designer with a knack for understanding what people want and designing beautiful kitchens which really are great to work in.
After studying naval architecture at Southampton University and six years as a computer programmer, Nick and his wife Hannah took off for a years cycling in Asia Nick writes
"it was somewhere in Burma we decided that making bespoke kitchens would be a great plan, as I had a strong desire to design and make beautiful things…and the beauty of the land and the people inspired me to just do it…… On my return a chance meeting with Mark and Cynthia Wilkinson (www.mwf.com) resulted in a job in his terrific workshops in Bromham. Later I landed my first commission and Guild Anderson was born."
