many years, Peter
Sanderson came to
the conclusion that
with the advent of
many other seemingly similar B2B trade
manufacturers that had entered into
the arena, his business had potentially
lost sight of its S ’s. The ompany
and its structure had evolved in such
a pie emeal’ way that Sanderson
felt he really needed to go back to
basics in order to better convey the
ideas at the heart of the operation.
In June last year, a programme of

complete re-structuring and branding
was implemented, complemented
by a proactive marketing campaign
to build a dealer network suitable
for ea h s rand’ of f rnit re.
Based at its HQ and workshops

in Ripley, Derbyshire, The Real
Kitchen Co was established and
with it, the brands Real Classic, Real
Simple, Real Retro and Real Green;
each with its own target market

rigid to the retailer or direct to their
customer. Real Simple is a cost-
effective furniture solution for the retail
customer that wants the in-frame look
but with a more limited budget. The
clever one-piece Shaker door design
incorporates the rail section of the
door frame whilst the cabinet itself
incorporates the side – style sections
of the frame. Sanderson, Founder and
Managing Director of the Real Kitchen
