What Magnet Kitchens is
Magnet is a long-established, vertically integrated kitchen manufacturer-retailer, making kitchens in Darlington and selling them through two channels under one fascia: Magnet showrooms for homeowners and Magnet Trade accounts for registered tradespeople. Its 21 style-led collections sit in the mass-to-premium part of the market, with free design consultation, installation and 0% finance.
Price tier: Mid-market
Ownership: Privately held, wholly owned by private-equity firm Alteri Partners through Magnet Group Holdco Limited, having been acquired from Swedish group Nobia AB. The estate is predominantly company-owned, with one franchise-operated showroom.
Formats: Large-format showrooms form the core of the estate, alongside newer small-format high-street showrooms of around 2,260 sq ft, a franchise-operated showroom, and Magnet Trade concessions inside builders' merchants. Magnet Trade offers trade accounts with design and quote within 24 hours and Click & Collect; the consumer purchase is showroom and appointment-led rather than online.
Growth: Running a three-year turnaround plan: rationalising the large-format legacy estate through a Company Voluntary Arrangement and lease renegotiations, while growing small-format high-street showrooms (ambition of 30 to 50), franchise and concession formats. Over half the existing estate has been refurbished in the past year.
