Going green boosts contract kitchen firm's profits

Lanzet, a Blackburn based national supplier of kitchens and fitted bedroom furniture to house builders, developers and social and commercial contractors, has announced its end of year results revealing record profits.

During the past 18 months Lanzet has upped its ‘green’ credentials and reduced costs by installing a commercial Biomass oven to efficiently burn its waste products generated during the on-site kitchen manufacturing process. Supplied by Ran Heat its Biomass oven heats the business’ warehousing, factory and offices.

It has also been awarded several high profile and large scale contracts this year, including the supply and project management of 375 kitchens in new apartment schemes by Muse Developments; supply and project management of a range of traditional and bespoke kitchens for Wain Homes, Aquinna Homes, Sisk Construction, Westerman Homes and Cussins Development as well as a landmark commission for a high spec bespoke kitchen within an exclusive property in Chiswick, London.

Managing director Barry Casement said: “Three years ago we set out an ambitious growth plan and have exceeded all targets and we look forward to further growing the business in the next three years to a £10m turnover business.

“Word of mouth recommendation still drives our new business and we’re delighted that our customers go on to recommend us time after time.”
