The Danesmoor Group is one of the UK’s leading kitchen and bedroom businesses. We’re a fifth generation, family‑owned company with a long track record, but with a clear focus on what is next. Our ambition is to combine the stability, investment and long term thinking of a heritage business with the pace, mindset and capability of a modern, digital first organisation.

With a turnover of c.£70m and a strong reputation for service, innovation, design‑led products and advanced UK manufacturing, we’ve built a solid platform across trade and retail channels. Today, the focus is firmly on the next stage of growth.

The group operates across multiple routes to market and audiences:

• PWS – a market‑leading trade distributor operating at scale across the UK.
• Life Kitchens – a fast‑growing kitchen manufacturer with a premium consumer brand with showrooms in Waterloo, Wimbledon and York, alongside established B2B trade channels.
• Danesmoor Agency

Together, this creates a genuinely interesting and complex environment spanning B2B and B2C, trade and retail, design, manufacturing and distribution – all within one group.
