[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We’re delighted to have received ‘Kitchen and Bathroom Showroom of the Year’ at the 2020 Builders’ Merchant Awards<\/a> for our Lincoln Showroom, which opened in January last year.<\/p>\n

The Awards ceremony, held virtually in May 2021 due to the Coronavirus pandemic, is an industry event celebrating the brightest and the best in the Builders’ Merchants sector.<\/p>\n

Our Lincoln branch<\/a> is the latest Turnbull showroom to open and its success reflects the talent and commitment of our entire Showrooms team who give the best service possible to all customers across our Turnbull network<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”23429″ img_size=”800×400″ alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Major investment in showrooms<\/h2>\n

Our kitchen and bathroom design and supply service has grown over the past nine years to become the fastest growing branch of Turnbull\u2019s business.<\/p>\n

We’ve invested in our showrooms, ensuring they are spaces which inspire our customers and showcase the best appliances and technology<\/a> available today. We’re justifiably proud of getting industry recognition for our new flagship showroom just outside Lincoln city centre.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”22380″ img_size=”800×400″ alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

From unwanted bus depot to award-winning showroom<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The 7,200 ft2<\/sup> state-of-the-art showroom was created on the site of a former Stagecoach depot near Lincoln\u2019s busy ring road. Planning\u00a0 started in April 2019, with a team made up of our hands-on Directors, the Group Showroom Manager and our in-house designers.<\/p>\n

It took nine months from concept to the doors opening in January 2020 and a total of \u00a31 million was invested in the project. The team spent over 100 hours deciding product ranges<\/a> and display designs to provide choice and value for our customers at all price points.<\/p>\n

Design-led displays and Inspiration Zones<\/h2>\n

The showroom is laid out over two floors with 16 full kitchen displays<\/a> on the ground floor and over 40 bathroom displays<\/a> on the second floor. We have specialist 3D design software Fusion to take customers on virtual journeys\u00a0 through the space.<\/p>\n

There are two dedicated \u2018Inspiration Zones\u2019 where customers can view endless combinations of worktops, tiles, flooring, lighting options and handles to see how their choices work together before installation.<\/p>\n

We also offer our customers the opportunity to compare bathroom fittings in a large fully plumbed Hansgrohe display with over 20 shower valves, heads and basin mixers.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”20443″ img_size=”800×400″ alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Why Lincoln?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Lincoln is a lively, thriving city and demand for new housing in the area is growing.\u00a0 We work in partnership with developers<\/a> to offer homebuyers the exciting opportunity to design the kitchens and bathrooms for their new homes.<\/p>\n

The Lincoln showroom offers our widest selection of luxury and mid-range kitchens and bathrooms, supplying everything imaginable on our customers’ wishlists.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”22269″ img_size=”800×400″ alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Overcoming Coronavirus <\/strong>challenges\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h2>\n

The showroom opened in January 2020 during one of the most challenging times the country has seen.<\/p>\n

Our designers kept in touch with our customers during this period by offering virtual showroom tours and video appointments<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We are now busier than ever, seeing record numbers of orders, and working hard to deliver projects with a focus on exceptional and personalised customer service.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”20542″ img_size=”800×400″ alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Our customer experience matters most<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Turnbull\u2019s ethos is all about giving our customers the best experience<\/a> possible, something this award acknowledges and celebrates.<\/p>\n

Customers are warmly welcomed when they enter our Lincoln showroom’s very modern, light and airy interior.<\/p>\n

We have comfortable consultation spaces for customers to meet with designers and consider their choices, and family zones to keep little ones entertained.<\/p>\n

We’re proud of our positive feedback. Recent customers to the showroom have said:[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-quote-left” color=”orange” align=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

“From the first point of contact to the day we moved in, [Turnbull] made sure that the process was effortless.<\/p>\n

For us, the kitchen was genuinely the most important and exciting part of buying our new home. Turnbull helped us create a space perfect for entertaining in but still stylishly practical for when our family grows. They have listened to us, accommodated each tweak and helpfully guided us when we needed it\u2026<\/p>\n

A big thank you to [Turnbull], we couldn’t recommend you more.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
