Looking for advice on your kitchen?
If you're planning a kitchen, our guides will probably help more than our latest posts. Danil, Cass and the team have written about costs, surveys, extensions, choosing between brands and what happens after installation, all drawn from the kitchens we design and fit. We've grouped them by topic on our guides page, so you can go straight to the questions you have.
On Manchester Road since 1986
Geoff Sharpe opened Keller Kitchen Centre at 338 Manchester Road in 1986. Danil Sugakov joined as co-owner in 2014, later taking over the business, and brought next125 to the showroom, and in March 2023 the business became Suga Küchen, a name that plays on Danil's surname. If you'd like the longer story, and to meet the people you'll be working with, it's all on our About page.
