A designer at Duncans of Grantown has won the Kitchen Designer of the Year Award at a prestigious industry awards ceremony.

Up against four other shortlisted designers, Holly Spittal took home the accolade at the Studio Partner Awards, hosted and organised by Häfele UK.

The firm is one of the biggest manufacturers and distributors of kitchen fittings, features, hardware, lighting and accessories.

The event was held at the spectacular Earth Hall at the Natural History Museum last Thursday (June 19) and saw 26 studios competing for winners’ trophies in the eighth event of its kind.

Ms Spittal picked up the prize for Kitchen Designer of the Year, with judges praising her clear dedication to Duncans of Grantown business and challenging herself with ‘opportunities to learn, grow, and take on new challenges’.

The expert panel said she has a ‘customer-centred ethos’ which was demonstrated in customer testimonials and loyalty for the business owned by Duncan Shreeve and his wife Rosemary.

Judges also saw multiple examples of her designs and were impressed by the clever solutions and transformations of the spaces she had worked with.

Mr Shreeve said: “We are very proud and delighted that Holly has won this amazing design award.

“Holly has been with the business since leaving school and has worked very hard and deserves this award.”

Mrs Shreeve said: “Holly is a very talented designer and always dedicated and focused when helping our clients achieve their dreams.

“At Duncans, we aim for the highest level of customer service, exceptional quality and value for money.”

Gareth Bevan, chief sales officer at Häfele UK, commented: “This year’s awards have once again showcased the exceptional talent and creativity within our Häfele Studio Partner network including Holly’s outstanding achievements.

“Congratulations to her, and the Duncans of Grantown team.”

Hafele’s Studio Partner programme is a network of UK-wide independent kitchen studios, hand-selected based on their superb customer service, business excellence and showroom commitment.
