Benchmarx UK store locations
What Benchmarx is
Benchmarx Kitchens & Joinery is Travis Perkins Group's dedicated trade kitchen proposition, supplying kitchen cabinets, worktops, appliances and joinery to tradespeople and kitchen fitters with free design consultation. Most showrooms sit inside Travis Perkins general-merchant branches, and it is the second-largest UK trade kitchen supplier behind Howdens.
Price tier: Mid-market
Ownership: A wholly owned fascia of Travis Perkins plc, listed on the London Stock Exchange (FTSE 250). The brand trades through Travis Perkins Trading Company Limited; there is no private-equity owner and no franchise structure.
Formats: Showrooms and smaller implant design-and-order points inside Travis Perkins general-merchant branches make up the large majority of sites, alongside a minority of standalone Benchmarx branches. Trade accounts can be opened in branch or online.
Growth: Travis Perkins closed 39 standalone Benchmarx branches to refocus on an integrated offer within its destination general-merchant branches, and continues to close some rural sites where refurbishment does not make economic sense. New showrooms still open selectively, including Birmingham, Swansea and a first site in Glasgow, alongside a refreshed range and new design software. No numeric showroom target is stated.
