Family-run business with deep Ely roots expands into new territory with a state-of-the-art showroom
Nicholas Hythe Kitchen Design Studio, Cambridgeshire’s only Trading Standards-approved designer and installer of bespoke fitted kitchens, is excited to announce the opening of its second retail showroom at 4 Minster Place, Ely, the former site of the Edinburgh Woollen Mill. The new showroom is currently undergoing extensive refurbishment and is scheduled to open in late November 2024.
This expansion into Ely has been driven, in part, by the company’s long-standing success in the region. Having designed and fitted many kitchens over the years in and around Ely from our existing showroom in St Ives, Nicholas Hythe has developed strong relationships with local homeowners, which made opening a dedicated showroom in the city a natural next step.
“Opening in Ely is an important milestone for us,” said Ross Halliday, director and co-owner, whose Nicholas and Jordan families trace their roots in Ely and Littleport back to 1648. “We’ve been fortunate to work with so many wonderful clients here already, and this new showroom allows us to better serve the Ely community looking to renovate their family’s home. Having spent so many school holidays here and with many family members still living in the city, we feel an incredible connection to this place and are excited to serve even more Ely area residents by providing easier access to our services.”
The Minster Place showroom is currently under construction to create a welcoming, state-of-the-art environment that showcases a wide variety of kitchen styles and designs. Clients will soon be able to explore fully fitted kitchen displays, experiencing different layouts, finishes, and materials that can be customised to their personal tastes, needs and budgets.
While the showroom is being refurbished, Nicholas Hythe is already offering home appointments with their expert designers for projects homeowners want to start in 2025. Clients eager to begin planning their new kitchen can take advantage of these early consultations, ensuring their project is prioritised once the showroom opens.
“We want to ensure our Ely clients receive the full Nicholas Hythe experience right from the start, even before the showroom officially opens its doors. By offering appointments now, we can start discussing ideas, designs, and plans to make their dream kitchens a reality in 2025,” added Ross.
Formed in 2009, Nicholas Hythe Kitchen Design Studio has been voted as Cambridgeshire’s most trusted bespoke kitchen designer. Known for its customer-first approach and attention to detail, the family-owned business specialises in creating unique, high-quality kitchens tailored to the individual needs, preferences and budget of each homeowner.
The company offers a comprehensive service that covers the entire kitchen design and installation process, including initial consultations, 3D design visualisations, product selection, and full project management during installation, including electrics, plumbing, plastering and even building works if required.
“We believe that every kitchen should be as unique as the family that uses it,” says Ross. “That’s why we take a collaborative approach with our clients. We listen to their needs, understand their lifestyle, and translate that into a kitchen that not only looks beautiful but functions perfectly for their everyday lives.”
Nicholas Hythe Kitchen Design Studio is more than just a business; it’s a family affair with deep ties to Ely and the surrounding areas. Two of the owners, Ross and Bill Halliday, are steeped in Ely and can trace their family lineage in the city back to 1648. With many family members still residing in Ely, the opening of the new showroom is a homecoming of sorts, strengthening their connection to the community.
“We have a long history here, and that connection to Ely is part of what makes this new showroom so important to us said Ross.
Nicholas Hythe Kitchen Design Studio has been recognised as the most trusted bespoke kitchen designer in Cambridgeshire, a testament to their unwavering dedication to quality, transparency, and exceptional customer service. From the initial consultation to the final installation, the team at Nicholas Hythe goes above and beyond to ensure that every kitchen they design is not only beautiful but built to last.
“We take immense pride in being voted the most trusted kitchen designers in the region,” Ross shared. “Trust is something we’ve worked hard to build with our clients, and it’s the cornerstone of our business. Our goal has always been to make the kitchen design and installation process as smooth and stress-free as possible, and that commitment to our clients has been the key to our success.”
The Nicholas Hythe Ely showroom is set to open in late November 2024. The company looks forward to welcoming local homeowners into a space designed to inspire and offer them a hands-on kitchen design experience like no other in the centre of Ely.
In the meantime, those eager to start their kitchen projects for 2025 can book an appointment with one of Nicholas Hythe’s experienced kitchen designers today or visit our existing showroom in the heart of St Ives.
