Rixonway Kitchens, one of the leading manufacturers working in affordable and social housing, has partnered with building contractors Apollo and Wates in a contract worth £2,100,000 over four years to provide over 3,000 kitchens to Homes in Sedgemoor.
Rixonway will provide kitchens from its 'Trieste range' for the project which will run over the next four years transforming the homes in Sedgemoor, Somerset as part of the Government's Decent Homes programme.
The Government set a target in 2002 to ensure all social housing should be decent including being water tight, as well as warm and with modern facilities.
Paul Rose, Chief Executive of Rixonway Kitchens based in Dewsbury, Yorkshire, said: "We are delighted to be involved with such a significant refurbishment scheme. Rixonway has worked with Wates and Apollo as an agreed supplier on a number of projects and share a common commitment to tackling environmental challenges. Indeed earlier in the year Rixonway was named as Manufacturer of the Year at the Wates Living Space inaugural Supply Chain Awards.
"This contract is the latest in a series of strong wins for Rixonway in the public sector with Ipswich, Tower Hamlets and Lewisham councils being the latest. Rixonway continues to weather the economic down turn, investing in new technologies to ensure we are well placed as a business to secure and fulfil new contracts with existing and new clients."
The contract comes on the back of Rixonway's entry into the Sunday Times Buyout Track 100 earlier this year for the second year in a row and into the Profit Track 100 for the first time. Making the biggest leap up the Buyout Track 100 of companies backed by private equity in the region Rixonway shot up 46 places from 62nd in 2010 to 17th in 2011. It also entered the Profit Track in 36th position in the table that ranks Britain's 100 private companies with the fastest-growing profits.
An award winning company, Rixonway was named the 2010 Environmental, Social and Governance Management Team of the Year in the Yorkshire region British Venture Capital & Private Equity Association (BVCA) Awards. The awards recognise the positive impact of private equity and venture capital-backed companies on the British and global economies and celebrate the achievements of the management teams that create, nurture and lead them.
The company has also received a gold accolade for the second year in the RoSPA Awards, acknowledging companies strong commitment to employee health and safety.
Formed in 1978, Yorkshire-based Rixonway Kitchens has over 30 years' experience in supplying kitchens to affordable housing and the public sector and is the only UK kitchen manufacturer dedicated to community regeneration.
