Major social housing contract for Rixonway Kitchens

RIXONWAY Kitchens has won a £1.2m contract that will see it provide 70 kitchens a week to homes over the next two and a half years.

The Dewsbury-based manufacturer, which works in the affordable and social housing sector, has secured the contract with Nottingham City Homes.

Almost 10,000 complete kitchens will be installed by building contractors Wates, Bullocks and FHM under the contract.

The contract was won through Rixonway’s involvement with the Efficiency East Midlands Consortia.

Paul Rose, chief executive of Rixonway Kitchens, said: “We are delighted to be involved with such a significant refurbishment scheme. Within a week of signing the contract we were already delivering the kitchens to be fitted, we have gone the extra mile to provide our service quickly to ensure minimum disruption to Nottingham City Homes’ tenants.”

Mark Johnson, director of property services for Nottingham City Homes, added: “Feedback from our tenants shows how much they appreciate the improvements we are making. And we are delighted to have entered into this partnership with Rixonway.

“They are involved in the process right from the start with our tenants, making sure they are happy with the layout of their new kitchen before it is handed over to our contractors to fit.”
