Brand new kitchen donated to customers living in retirement living scheme
Customers living in one of our retirement living schemes have been gifted a new communal kitchen thanks to our partnership with Lovell and Moores Furniture Group.
We’ve been working with Lovell and Moores Furniture Group over the last two years as part of our programme to update our customers’ kitchens.
To date we have delivered more than 2,500 kitchens thanks to the overall partnership.
This is a perfect example of a social value project, Moores Furniture Group donated the kitchen and Lovell colleagues fitted it for free including a brand-new cooker at our Knightlow Lodge retirement living scheme in Coventry
Carole Carter is one of our customers living at the scheme and will benefit from the new kitchen.
She said: “It looks lovely, they’ve done a wonderful job.”
Our Director of Asset Management Bridget Guilfoyle said: “We’d like to say a huge thank you to Lovell and Moores Furniture Group for their work and donation of this kitchen for our colleagues and customers. It’s brilliant to see the seamless collaboration, from planning to delivery with very little disruption for our customers living at Knightlow lodge.
“We’re really thrilled with the result and the brand-new cooker and hope our customers and colleagues enjoy using the space.
“We are committed to working with our partners including Lovell and Moores Furniture Group to make a positive difference to our customers in our communities. Our partnership working with the two organisations will continue through our 10-year kitchen programme where we will provide updated kitchens and bathrooms to more of our customers.”
Regional Refurbishment Director from Lovell Carl Yale said: “It was our pleasure to install the new communal kitchen and cooker for staff and residents at Knightlow Lodge. We are committed to delivering real social value outcomes; we hope both residents and staff enjoy using the new kitchen. We’re proud of the partnership we have with the team at Citizen through which we have the privilege of refurbishing and improving residents’ homes every day.”
Sales Director – Client & Contractor Channel at Moores Furniture Group, Dave Rawle, added: “Moores Furniture Group are extremely proud of the partnership we have with Citizen and Lovell, and the impact we are able to make to the community through improving homes.
“We are passionate about delivering social value, and were thrilled to hear the positive feedback from the residents of Knightlow Lodge enjoying their new Kitchen.”
