“My great grandfather was also called George Robinson, and I have his name tag on the tool box I use today. He was a master carpenter and made many of his own tools; they are as good now as they were a hundred years ago.

This influenced my concern for the environment, which is an integral part of my working philosophy. We use wood from sustainable forests as much as we can, and opt for the most energy efficient appliances. Taking care of and handing on our tools is a great way to reduce our environmental footprint, but by creating durable kitchens and furniture that is built to last as an inheritance to future generations, I feel that I am able to make a tangible difference that I feel truly proud of.

One of my great passions is for my allotment and the vegetables I grow there. I love to see them develop from seedlings to the fully grown produce I enjoy cooking. In the same way, when I look at a kitchen space and start to plan its design, I have a sense of excitement that will develop until my colleagues and I can stand back from a finished kitchen and enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done.

I enjoy the sense of continuity that a traditionally manufactured kitchen gives me, but equally love the simplicity and functionality of a truly contemporary design. In George Robinson Kitchens, both will be built to the highest standards, demonstrating both the passion and the commitment that my colleagues and I bring to our work.”
