Ikea on the prowl for kitchen fitters

KITCHEN installation contracts worth up to £1 million a year are up for grabs.

Bristol's branch of Ikea is about to start fitting kitchens across its catchment area which includes Swindon.

It is expecting to have up to 25 kitchen fits a week and will be contracting work to local companies.

Previously it has left the fitting to customers but from next month will be co-ordinating that side of things. Each job is worth about £1,000.

David Vine, Ikea's project co-ordinator in Bristol said: "We're actively seeking out specialist kitchen installation companies."

Last week Ikea revealed it was looking at opening in Swindon town centre.

Kitchen installation or joinery firms interested should telephone David Vine on 07733 213616.
