The Kitchen Centre, in Trafalgar Road, Newport, has undergone a major refit in time for Christmas and the New Year, and their Sheraton range, from popular suppliers Omega are available for customers to view. Steve Viney, the Morey’s Kitchen Centre showroom supervisor, said: “We tend to trade at the middle to upper end of the market. It is not so much by design but because of people’s perception about what we do, and customer demand. “We have changed suppliers a couple of times over the past 10 years, and last January we brought in a range from Omega Kitchens known as the Charles Rennie Mackintosh, which have proved highly successful. 190 “Naturally we wanted to build further on that success, so we now have introduced seven new kitchens from the Sheraton Range, produced by the same manufacturer. So that now gives us three core ranges – Regency which is long established and perhaps could be termed is our entry level as far as kitchens are concerned. Then we have Sheraton that will sit in the middle ground with the Charles Rennie Mackintosh at the upper end.” Sheraton and Mackintosh are offered exclusively to Morey’s on the Island, with Sheraton offering a broader range that still includes a fair amount of traditional, but also has contemporary products such as high gloss finishes and curved doors, to cater for all aspects of the market. Steve added: “We also do a lot of internet price matching on kitchen appliances and sell appliances individually. There are a wide range of work surfaces on show in the showroom, and Morey’s can also provide a full design and installation service.” Tel: 01983 525111 Visit our new website - www.visitislandlife.com
