The KBB industry disciplines we cover for UK employers. Each one has its own consultant, its own map of the credentials that matter and its own package bands.
CAD-fluent kitchen designers for retailers and showrooms. Articad, 20-20 Design, Winner Design, ProKitchen or Compusoft power-users. Bespoke and modular design skills across residential and light-commercial projects. Portfolio-reviewed for design flair, spatial planning and technical accuracy.

Field sales representatives for kitchen brands: showroom-facing account managers, national account leads, regional business-development teams. Kitchen manufacturers, worktop brands, appliance brands, sink and tap brands.
Warehouse supervisors, distribution operations leads, logistics managers, transport coordinators for national KBB distributors and manufacturer-owned distribution centres.
Aftersales managers, customer-service leadership, snag-resolution teams, warranty specialists and installation-support coordinators for KBB retailers, installation firms and manufacturers.
Production supervisors, quality-control specialists, joinery-shop management, factory-floor team leads and manufacturing operations leadership for UK kitchen and cabinet manufacturers.
The specialism determines the sourcing lens, the credential-verification depth and the portfolio-review requirement. The workflow stays the same across all twelve: a structured brief, a discreet search, a ranked shortlist and end-to-end offer support. Same consultant from intake through day-90 follow-up.
We arrive at intake ready. We already know the software stack, the credential ecosystem, the package bands across the UK regions, the passive-market context for the specialism, and the seasonality of the installation calendar, so the intake call is spent on your business and the team you want to build.
We approach our network and the passive market. Client identity is withheld until you give express permission. Approaches to a candidate’s current employer are coordinated with you before we make them, particularly where the KBB market in a specific region is small enough that a sloppy approach signals to competitors.
Three to five candidates per brief, credential-verified, portfolio-reviewed where relevant, with written notes on each. Current package in GBP, notice period, van-signwriting position and any competing processes documented before introduction. We rank the shortlist and explain our ranking.
We coordinate interviews, manage feedback, structure the offer, handle counter-offer conversations and confirm start-date logistics. Follow-up check-ins at day thirty and day ninety make sure the placement is settling.
Commercial-kitchen chefs, hospitality-industry roles and food-service operations sit best with specialist chef and hospitality recruiters. Domestic-only handyman roles sit with local trade platforms. If you ask us for something outside the twelve KBB specialisms above, we will say so directly and refer you out with pleasure.
Submit a vacancy with the role, the software stack, the package band and the timeline. We will reply within one business day with a clear plan and a fee proposal.
